Snip it from the Espn insider that was C & P in another thread. Gotta love SOS comments about doing it in Knoxville.
Despite the loss of Lattimore and several other running backs, Spurrier, architect of the Fun-n-Gun aerial assault at Florida, stayed grounded. USC was on its fifth-string tailback by the time it visited Tennessee on Oct. 29, but that didn't stop the Gamecocks from engineering a 20-play, 98-yard touchdown journey that gobbled up 11:35 of the third quarter clock in a 14-3 win.
Spurrier seemed to take pride in the slow-down game. He engineered a similarly lengthy drive in a Duke victory at Tennessee when he was the offensive coordinator.
"Amazingly, we had a drive up there very similar in 1982," Spurrier said. "That goes back a little while. I was at Duke as an assistant coach and we beat Tennessee 25-24, and we had a one-point lead and started on our 1-yard line on the same end of the field that we were on this past year. I want to say there was 9:30 left in the game and we ran the clock out.
"Uh, now last year, we had an 11-minute drive, wasn't it? … Those were my two longest ever, I think. Both right there in Knoxville, going the same direction."
