HISTORY
ATLANTA — Tennessee closed the 1987 season the way it began it way back in August, posting a come-from-behind win over a Big Ten rival. This time the Indiana Hoosiers were the victim, as the Vols rallied once again in the fourth quarter for a 27-22 victory. A record Peach Bowl crowd of 58,737 saw the Vols explode to a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter as quarterback Jeff Francis led three scoring drives and threw TD passes to Anthony Miller and Terence Cleveland. Indiana rallied in the second half and led 22-21 late in the fourth quarter. But the Vol defense stiffened and Francis and his offensive mates got the ball at the Hoosier 40. The Vols took it for the winning score as Francis scrambled for a crucial first down and Cobb got the game-winner from 9 yards out. Charles Kimbrough’s interception sealed the Vols’ first win in two Peach Bowl tries.
REVIEW
MEMPHIS — Jeff Francis threw three touchdown passes and the Vol defense shut down Minnesota when it had to, leading Tennessee to a 21-14 victory over Minnesota in the 28th Liberty Bowl. The Vols jumped to a 14-3 halftime lead as Francis threw touchdown passes to wide receiver Joey Clinkscales and fullback William Howard. Minnesota got a late field goal from Chip Lohmiller and trailed 14-3 at the half. The Gophers dominated the third period, getting a touchdown from quarterback Rickey Foggie on a fourthdown option play. Freshman Darrell Thompson’s twopoint conversion run put Minnesota back in the game. Another field goal from Lohmiller in the fourth quarter knotted the count. The Vols roared back for the clinching score, as Francis hit Nate Middlebrooks and Anthony Miller to move deep into Minnesota territory. On third-and-3, he hit Clinkscales for the game-winner in the left corner of the end zone. The Vol defense shut down Foggie and Minnesota the rest of the way and rang up UT’s third Liberty Bowl victory in as many tries.
