Hurricane Rita 10 Years Later: The Night the Tennessee Vols Ruined the LSU Tigers Homecoming

It’s weird to look back on now given how the season played out and the scope of what was going on at the time.

But lost in the disastrous 2005 football season for the Tennessee Volunteers and also the damage and tragedy from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we almost forget about what was one of the most glorious moments in Tennessee football history at the time it happened.

We are talking, of course, about a Monday night game in 2005 in which the Vols stunned the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge 30-27 in overtime after coming back from a 21-0 deficit.
