Georgia placekicker Marshall Morgan (13) scores the game-winning field goal during overtime. Georgia won 34-31.KNOXVILLE — Tennessee receiver Marquez North kneeled at the 35-yard line, his gray-gloved hand covering his face.
A little more than 10 yards away, Volunteers linebacker Dontavis Sapp stood like a statue, with his hands on his hips and his helmet resting a little above his forehead.
Moments earlier, Georgia kicker Marshall Morgan’s 42-yard kick sailed through the goal-post uprights behind the south end zone at Neyland Stadium and ended the Vols’ valiant bid to upset the sixth-ranked Bulldogs.
“So many things were going through my mind at that point in time,” Sapp, a senior from Valdosta, Ga., said Saturday evening after Tennessee’s 34-31 overtime loss. “It’s hard to even tell what was going through my mind, it was so much. I left it all on the field. I had no more to give.
“Unfortunately we didn’t come out with the win, but I was just taking it all in.”
