- 1951 Classic: Tennessee 20, Texas 14
General Robert Neyland knew he had found something special for his powerful single-wing attack when he moved Andy Kozar from the offensive line to fullback early in the 1950 season. Kozar gave Tennessee a back with great size and balance to go with a fluid open-field running style. On a soft, rain-soaked field against third-ranked Texas in the 1951 Classic, the Tennessee sophomore proved to be the Vols' workhorse, carrying 20 times for 92 yards. His constant pounding inside finally forced the Texas defense to crack late in the fourth quarter. Kozar scored twice on short bursts of one and five yards. His game-winner came with just 3:11 to play and capped a relentless Tennessee rally that turned a 14-7 deficit into a thrilling 20-14 victory.
