Tennessee’s last-second Hail Mary throw from QB Josh Dobbs to WR Jauan Jennings was shocking on multiple levels.

Aside from the hysteria of the play itself, one needs to delve deeper into the numbers as a means to depict how shocking the touchdown throw truly was.

According to ESPN, Georgia had a 99.9-percent chance to win the contest after Jacob Eason’s 47-yard touchdown throw to Riley Ridley with 0:10 remaining in the contest.

A 0.1-percent chance is all Tennessee needed to win — and it’s exactly what they did. Somewhere, Jim Carrey is smiling.
