By the time the beating was finished, most of the thousands of Tennessee fans who flooded into Ohio Stadium were gone. At least two remained — one in a Peyton Manning jersey and another in a coonskin cap — and hovered over the tunnel as the stone-faced Vols walked into the beginning of the end of their season.
