The Volunteers played the Sooner’s at home on September 12, 2015 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. KNOXVILLE — Tennessee blew a 17-point lead in Saturday night’s loss to Oklahoma in double overtime.
The Volunteers hadn’t coughed up a lead that large in a loss since the 1984 Sun Bowl loss to Maryland, which turned a 21-0 third-quarter deficit into a 28-27 win.
In fact, it was the largest lead Tennessee’s relinquished in a home loss.
The Vols begin picking up the pieces today, but first, a look back at the first loss of the season.
