UT meets UCLA in 1974 at Neyland Stadium, called by Keith Jackson

Parts of the second half of 1974 opener Tennessee against UCLA. Converted from an old realmedia file so the quality suffers - I don't know who did this originally (I grabbed it about 8 years ago and now it's gone) and I don't know how they got tapes from 1974, but thanks to whoever you are. So many interesting and significant things: Condredge Holloway returns from the hospital and connects with Stanley Morgan (in his UT debut) against Dick Vermeil's UCLA, called by Keith Jackson; Neyland Stadium as a horseshoe; Barefoot Ricky Townshend against UCLA's straight-on kicker; Bill Battle going for the tie. Also in the game but not this piece: Holloway connects with Morgan for an 80 yard TD pass on the first play from scrimmage and Jim Lampley, working the first game ever for sideline reporters, notes that Condredge had guaranteed it the day before. If the quailty were better, maybe you'd see me as a 8 year old in the horseshoe behind the goal posts.

Haven't seen footage of Condredge Holloway running onto the field since I saw it live 36 years ago. Nice post.
