Will Grier’s remember-when moment swamped Vols’ 2015 title hopes

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Swamp had been all but drained that September day, with Florida trailing Tennessee by two scores in the final 5 minutes.

Then freshman Will Grier delivered a comeback so stunning it may forever chomp at the craw of Vols fans (not to mention the legacy of Butch Jones).

Florida 28, Tennessee 27: It altered the outcome of the 2015 SEC East race, and even three years later, playing at another school, Grier can’t help but glow at the fourth quarter’s retelling.

His 5-yard touchdown to Brandon Powell trimmed the deficit to 27-21 with 4:09 left.
