Late Hogs Fumble Leads to Game-Winning TD for Tennessee

Tennessee overcame a 14-point third-quarter deficit and scored the winning touchdown with 28 seconds left to edge 10th-ranked Arkansas, 28-24, on a rainy afternoon at Neyland Stadium. It was a dramatic finish that left the multitudes breathless, culminating the Vols' rally from 21-3 down in the second quarter.

Travis Henry scored the winning touchdown after the Vols gained possession on a Razorback fumble at the Arkansas 43-yard line. Henry, who gained 197 yards on 32 carries for the day, carried five times for 43 yards on the Vols' last drive.

Tee Martin ran for one TD and also threw a scoring pass to Peerless Price. Jeff Hall added two field goals.

The Vols also scored a safety when the Arkansas punter kicked the ball through the end zone after a bad snap from center.
