It took three lead changes in the final three minutes, but Tennessee outlasted Georgia on a last-second Hail Mary.
The Volunteers’ Joshua Dobbs found Jauan Jennings from 43 yards out at the buzzer to steal a win between the hedges in the most dramatic fashion possible. Now 5-0, the Vols are running away with the East.
As for the Bulldogs, they thought they had a comeback triumph of their own when freshman signal caller Jacob Eason delivered a 47-yard scoring strike to Riley Ridley with 10 seconds left in regulation. It was the kind of throw reminiscent of Matthew Stafford, who starred at UGA before becoming the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
It was the game of the year in the SEC, with big plays in big moments from start to finish. But in the end, UT made just one more play than the Dawgs. That one play was the difference between victory and defeat.
