JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--In Paul "Bear" Bryant's last game as head coach at A&M, Tennessee used a fourth-quarter field goal by Sammy Burklow to take a 3-0 victory over the beleaguered Aggies and Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow before a Gator Bowl record crowd of 43,709.
The 17-yard kick came with 5:30 remaining in a game dominated by both defenses. Most of the battle was contested between the 35-yard lines.
The Aggies lost their third straight game after being ranked No. 1 in the nation earlier in the year.
