Talking Penn State and College Football History: Ricky Townsend

We visit Rocky Top this week to feature one of the first "Barefoot" kickers in NCAA history.  Ricky Townsend of Tennessee is our guest this week.  Ricky was a star athlete coming out of Dalton, GA and converted to a kicker when at UT.  He played at Tennessee from 1972-1974 and was a first-team All-American in 1972 and 1973.  This is back in the heyday of Tennessee football as the Volunteers appeared in three bowl games during these years with a combined record of 25-9-2.  Listen as Ricky takes you back to those glory years of Tennessee football and also shares his testimony along the way.
