The Tennessee Vols' 2022 season featured several memorable moments that fans will remember forever.
Storming the field after beating Alabama, taking over Baton Rouge, and cruising past Clemson in the Orange Bowl are all moments that stand out from Tennessee's incredible 11-2 season.
There were some funny moments last season, too. And while those moments weren't as important, they were still memorable.
Here are five hilarious moments from the Vols' 2022 season that fans may have already forgotten about.
Darnell Wright's acting job during the season-opener against Ball State
Darnell Wright had an incredible senior season for the Vols. Wright gave up zero sacks in 2022 which led to him getting selected with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.
In the first game of the season, Wright showed off his acting skills a bit. In the third quarter, Wright was shoved by a Ball State defender. And let's just say Wright may have exaggerated how hard he was pushed.
Pittsburgh offensive lineman calls Tennessee "pretty"
Ahead of Tennessee's rematch with Pittsburgh in early September, Pitt offensive lineman Marcus Minor spoke to reporters and said that UT was probably the "prettiest" team the Panthers would see all season.
I still have no idea what Minor was trying to say, but it garnered a few laughs either way.
Reporter has no clue that Tennessee beat Pittsburgh
Akron head coach Joe Moorhead met with reporters ahead of his team's matchup with the Vols in week three of the 2022 season.
One of the reporters asking questions apparently didn't watch Tennessee's game against Pittsburgh the previous week. The reporter asked Moorhead a question about what to expect with the Vols coming off a loss to the Panthers.
Moorhead quickly explained to the embarrassed reporter that Tennessee beat Pittsburgh in overtime.
Nick Saban doesn't understand why his team wasn't "chanting" before game against Vols
Nick Saban was searching for answers after he lost to Tennessee for the first time since taking over as Alabama's head coach in 2007.
One thing that Saban noticed is that his team wasn't "chanting" before taking the field against the Volunteers.
It's that "what's up with that" from Saban that gets me every time.
Josh Heupel calls out a reporter that wore red to a press conference ahead of the Vols' matchup against Georgia
Ahead of the Vols' huge showdown with the Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia beat writer Mike Griffith made the trip to Knoxville to get the story from the Tennessee side of the rivalry. And for some reason, Griffith wore red to the press conference, something that Heupel hilariously pointed out during the press conference.
