This was the Vols' fifth Sugar Bowl <a href="/wiki/List_of_Tennessee_Volunteers_bowl_games" title="List of Tennessee Volunteers bowl games">appearance</a> and first since the <a href="/wiki/1957_Sugar_Bowl" title="1957 Sugar Bowl">1957 game</a>. The Vols rolled over <a href="/wiki/1970_Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football_team" title="1970 Alabama Crimson Tide football team">Alabama</a> 24–0 at <a href="/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee" title="Knoxville, Tennessee">Knoxville</a> in October (the Vols' last win vs. the Crimson Tide until <a href="/wiki/1982_Tennessee_Volunteers_football_team" title="1982 Tennessee Volunteers football team">1982</a>) and gained revenge for a 38–0 loss in 1969 to <a href="/wiki/1970_Ole_Miss_Rebels_football_team" title="1970 Ole Miss Rebels football team">Ole Miss</a> in November, but an early loss to <a href="/wiki/1970_Auburn_Tigers_football_team" title="1970 Auburn Tigers football team">Auburn</a> in <a href="/wiki/Birmingham,_Alabama" title="Birmingham, Alabama">Birmingham</a> wound up costing Tennessee a tie for the Southeastern Conference championship, which instead went outright to <a href="/wiki/1970_LSU_Tigers_football_team" title="1970 LSU Tigers football team">LSU</a> when the Tigers defeated the Rebels 61-17 in their regular season finale. </p><p>The game was a match of offense vs defense. In the regular season, Air Force averaged 423.6 yards in offense, while Tennessee surrendered only 88.4 yards on defense.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Game_summary">Game summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1971_Sugar_Bowl&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Game summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Televised by <a href="/wiki/ESPN_College_Football_on_ABC" class="mw-redirect" title="ESPN College Football on ABC">ABC</a>, the Sugar Bowl kicked off at <a href="/wiki/Noon" title="Noon">12 noon</a> <a href="/wiki/Central_Time_Zone" title="Central Time Zone">CST</a>, an hour before the <a href="/wiki/1971_Cotton_Bowl_Classic" title="1971 Cotton Bowl Classic">Cotton Bowl</a> on <a href="/wiki/CBS_Sports" title="CBS Sports">CBS</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Hskstrsv_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hskstrsv-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Quarterback <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Scott_(American_football)" title="Bobby Scott (American football)">Bobby Scott</a> summed the game up with a quote after the game: "We had the momentum going." The Volunteers, not fooled by Air Force's eight-man line, drove 59 yards in 2 minutes and 45 seconds and culminated with a Don McLeary touchdown. It only grew worse for the Falcons as they fumbled on their ensuing drive, as the Vols added in a field goal by George Hunt soon after. Following an Air Force punt, the Vols drove down the field once again, driving 58 yards that culminated in McLeary's 2nd touchdown. A fumble by Air Force gave the ball back to the Vols at the Falcons' own 24. Four plays later, Scott passed to Gary Theiler for a touchdown. By this point, 3:12 was left in the first period, and it was 24–0. Air Force did later score in the quarter, happening on a fumble recovery by Darryl Hass in the endzone on a bad snap while the Vols were in their own territory. The second quarter went scoreless, as the demoralized Falcons trailed 24–7 at halftime. </p><p>The third quarter turned out to be worse. <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Majors" title="Bobby Majors">Bobby Majors</a> returned an Air Force punt 57 yards for a touchdown. Air Force added in a measly touchdown later in the quarter, but by that point it was 31–13, and Hunt added in his second field goal to make the final score 34–13.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scoring">Scoring</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1971_Sugar_Bowl&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Scoring"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>First quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>TENN – Don McLeary 5-yard run (George Hunt kick)</li> <li>TENN – Hunt 30-yard field goal</li> <li>TENN – McLeary 20-yard run (Hunt kick)</li> <li>TENN – Gary Theiler 10-yard pass from <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Scott_(American_football)" title="Bobby Scott (American football)">Bobby Scott</a> (Hunt kick)</li> <li>AFA – Darryl Haas fumble recovery in end zone (Barry kick)</li></ul> <p><b>Second quarter</b> </p> <dl><dd><i>No scoring</i></dd></dl> <p><b>Third quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>TENN – <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Majors" title="Bobby Majors">Bobby Majors</a> 57-yard punt return (Hunt kick)</li> <li>AFA – Bob Bassa 27-yard pass from Bob Parker (kick failed)</li></ul> <p><b>Fourth quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>TENN – Hunt 32-yard field goal</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Statistics">Statistics</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1971_Sugar_Bowl&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Statistics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dd><table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"> <tbody><tr> <th>Statistics</th> <th>Tennessee</th> <th> Air Force  </th></tr> <tr> <td>First Downs</td> <td>24</td> <td>15 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Yards Rushing</td> <td>42–86</td> <td>24–(-12) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Passing</td> <td>24–46–2</td> <td>23–46–4 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Yards Passing</td> <td>306</td> <td>239 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Total Yards</td> <td>88–392</td> <td>70–227 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Punts–Average</td> <td>5–31.4</td> <td>8–34.5 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Fumbles–Lost</td> <td>7–3</td> <td>7–4 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Turnovers</td> <td>5</td> <td>8 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Penalties–Yards</td> <td>6–74</td> <td>0–0 </td></tr></tbody></table></dd></dl> <dl><dd><span style="font-size:85%;">Source:</span><sup id="cite_ref-soarpast_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-soarpast-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-tenwinsb_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tenwinsb-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1971_Sugar_Bowl&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Aftermath"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Air Force has not returned to the Sugar Bowl or any other bowl sponsored by the <a href="/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series" title="Bowl Championship Series">Bowl Championship Series</a> and its successor, the <a href="/wiki/College_Football_Playoff" title="College Football Playoff">College Football Playoff</a>.
