Freshman Eric Gray just scored on the second-longest run in Tennessee history
Published:
Eric Gray scored the first touchdown of his college career in the first quarter of the Vanderbilt game. It didn’t take him long to top that with the second score of his college career.
Gray pushed Tennessee’s lead over Vanderbilt to 21-3 in the second quarter with a 94-yard touchdown run.
Following that run, the freshman now has 171 rushing yards on 6 carries against Vanderbilt. That’s a healthy 28.5 average per carry.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Gray’s second touchdown was the second-longest run in program history. The only run longer was Kelsey Finch’s 99-yard run at Florida on Oct. 22, 1977.
