Tennessee’s Neyland legend fuels Majors drive at Tennessee
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley profiles Gen Bob Neyland’s enduring impact on Tennessee football as coach Johnny Majors returns to rebuild the program. Fans fill Neyland Stadium for a UCLA opener and a loss to Alabama, while plans announce expansion beyond 89,750 seats. Neyland’s 173–31–17 mark, 22-game win streak, and 1951 national title anchor a storied legacy that Majors honors though he never played for Neyland.
