ATHENS, Ga. – What catchy name will this ending earn?
How Tennessee won at Sanford Stadium on Saturday evening certainly deserves one.
After giving up a long touchdown pass to Georgia and freshman quarterback Jacob Eason with 10 seconds to go, Jauan Jennings rose highest among a crowd of players in the end zone to come down with a 43-yard touchdown on the final play, giving the Volunteers an incredible 34-31 win against the Bulldogs.
“There’s something about this team,” said Tennessee coach Butch Jones, who fell to the turf overcome with emotion and amazement in the immediate aftermath of the Hail Mary touchdown.
“You don’t win a game like that if you don’t have character.”
