Johnny Majors tries to motivate Vols for Bama

Tennessee's new coaching staff can't recite the history of the Volunteers' annual matchup with their biggest rival.
So the coaches turned to someone this week who could: former Tennessee tailback and coach Johnny Majors.
"For a guy who hasn't coached for a while, he still can grasp an 18-year-old's attention. We love having him around. He does an unbelievable job motivating the guys," coach Lane Kiffin said.
Majors spoke to the team during Wednesday's practice, telling stories of games past from the "Third Saturday in October" rivalry between Alabama (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) and Tennessee (3-3, 1-2).
He coached 16 of those games with a 4-12 record. Two of those losses came while the Crimson Tide was ranked No. 1, as it is now.
Majors chose instead to share memories of beating Alabama as a player 20-0 in his junior season in 1955 and again 24-0 in his senior season.
"His first year, losing to Alabama, they throw three interceptions. There's a coaching change, and then the next two years they beat Alabama," Kiffin said.
Kiffin would love to join then-coach Bowden Wyatt as another first-year coach to win his first game in the bitter rivalry.
"The game's obviously huge. I learned that in the offseason. As you go out and you're speaking and meeting people, it's so important to so many people around here," he said. The SEC Rocks!
