85. Block Party

Floyd Miley scores off a blocked field goal

Nov. 9, 1991: With Tennessee trailing by 24 to national title contender Notre Dame, the Volunteers' Floyd Miley changed everything when he returned a blocked Craig Hentrich field goal attempt 85 yards for a touchdown just before halftime. Hentrich sprained his knee on the play and was replaced by sophomore walk-on Rob Leonard. The Vols eventually charged back to upset the fifth-ranked Irish 35-34 in South Bend, after Leonard missed a last-second 27-yard field goal.
