 Winning all nine of their games, the 1914 squad was only the second undefeated team in Tennessee history.The 1914 Vols were retroactively awarded a national championship by 1st-N-Goal, though this remains largely unrecognized.A description of the 14 to 7 win over Sewanee in 1914 read, "Lindsay, as usual, ploughed through the opposing line for consistent gains, and when it was absolutely necessary that Tennessee gain a certain number of yards 'Russ' was sure to be called upon."
