Sixth Football National Championship

In 1998, head football coach Phillip Fulmer and quarterback Tee Martin led the Vols to their sixth national championship—the first in college football’s Bowl Championship Series. The 23-16 win over Florida State was the last game called on the radio by broadcaster John Ward, known for decades as the Voice of the Vols, before he retired.
