Bear Bryant's last game as Texas A&M's head coach against Tennessee

Tennessee first played Texas A&M on Dec. 28, 1957 during the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, marking the final game for Bear Bryant as the Aggies' head coach. The Vols defeated Texas A&M and Bryant, 3-0. 43,709 were in attendance, a then-Gator Bowl record. The contest was scoreless until Tennessee kicker Sammy Burklow converted a 17-yard field goal with 5:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. His game-winning field goal was the first successful attempt of his career. The game was contested in rainy and muddy field conditions and remains the lowest-scoring Gator Bowl in history. Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow shared MVP honors with Tennessee tailback Bobby Gordon . Crow totaled 42 rushing yards on 10 attempts against the Vols. Tennessee finished its season with an 8-3 (4-3 SEC) record under third-year head coach and former Vol Bowden Wyatt . Bryant returned to his alma mater, Alabama , after the game and served as head coach of the Crimson Tide from 1958-82. Follow Vols Wire on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).

Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly
