KNOXVILLE — You figured Tennessee quarterback Matt Simms would have watched his game-winning touchdown pass to Denarius Moore against UAB about 92,000 times by the time Monday’s media luncheon rolled around.
After all, it was a perfect throw at a perfect time to save the Volunteers’ season. With a loss to the Blazers, they would have headed to Baton Rouge this weekend with a 1-3 record. Let the Vols vanish against UAB and the Big Orange Nation might have called it quits, failing to fill up Neyland Stadium for any game the rest of the season save Alabama.
