It certainly makes sense to name Saturday’s matchup between Tennessee football and the Pittsburgh Panthers the Johnny Majors Classic. After all, Majors’ legendary career is based off of what he did at those two schools.
On Rocky Top, Majors was a Heisman Trophy runner-up and All-American in 1956, when he led the Vols to a 10-0 regular season record and SEC Championship. He then won three SEC Championships as a head coach there.
