Past SEC Team of the Day
1998 Tennessee Volunteers
[Image: http://smokeys-trail.com/Six/1998-nation...mpions.jpg]
The 1998 team took advantage of its opportunties to win the national championship, making up for the loss of three NFL first-round draft choices from 1997 and a season-ending knee injury to tailback Jamal Lewis in the Auburn game. The Vols won nailbiters against Syracuse, Florida and Arkansas and took a fourth consecutive win over Alabama.
The Vols ascended to the No. 1 spot after the Alabama-Birmingham game and proved equal to the task by defeating Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Florida State en route to the national crown. Al Wilson was an All-America selection at linebacker and placekicker Jeff Hall became UT's and the SEC's all-time leading scorer. Quarterback Tee Martin guided the Vols steadily all season and set NCAA passing records for consecutive completions and percentage in the South Carolina game.
