10 F a I I Cobb is classic Tennessee started fast and had to finish even faster to secure a 23-22 victory over Iowa in the Fifth An- nual Kickoff Classic Aug. 30. The game was one of the most outstanding com- ebacks I've ever been involved in, said Johnny Ma- jors, Tennesseehs head coach. With Tennessee behind 22-17, freshman tailback Reggie Cobb took matters into his own hands rushing for 74 yards in the fourth quarter, earning Most Valuable Player honors in front of a Giants Stadium crowd of 54,681. Cobb rushed for a game high 138 yards before a national television audience. Tennessee jumped out to a 7-3 lead early in the first quarter, then disaster struck. Vol quarterback Jeff Francis fumbled on the Tennessee two-yard line. The Vols held Iowa on the first three goalline plays. On fourth and goal, Darrin Miller, an outside linebacker for the Vols, intercepted an errant pitch at the four yard line and raced 96 yards for the touchdown, putting the V015 up 14-3 in the second quarter. Terry McDaniel and Victor Peppers, two V01 defenders, provided two key blocks that enabled Miller to make it to the endzone. Without those blocks I would not have been able to make it, Miller said. Darrin Miller deserved a breather after recovering a mid-air fum- ble and rambling 96 yards for a second quarter touchdown. Cedric Kline kept the secondary under close guard with six tackles and one broken-up pass. Coach Majors watched as Jeff Francis directed the Vol offense with 11 completions on 23 attempts. Classic M VP Reg- gie Cobb averaged five yards per carry as be logged in 142 of the 302 total rushing yards for the Vols. Tom McDonald Torn McDonald Tom McDonald

HIt's a good time in terms of where the college is to step down and pursue a full-time professorship. . .I've been in this position long enough, and it's a good time to have a look at having another dean come in, he added. James Orten, chairman of the search committee for a replacement for Granger and acting associate dean of the College of Social Work, said that Granger has made a significant contribution to the college during his time in office. He has made a significant contribution in getting the program at three locations tMemphis, Nashville and Knoxvillet fully developed, he said.
