Overview
- A false start moved Tennessee’s potential game-winner back, and Max Gilbert missed a 43-yard field goal with seven seconds left in regulation.
- Gilbert had earlier hit from 48 yards and then made a 42-yarder in overtime before Georgia ended it with a walk-off touchdown on its possession.
- Tennessee led 21-7 early and 38-30 late before the defense surrendered a nine-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 28-yard touchdown pass and a two-point conversion.
- Quarterback Joey Aguilar threw for 371 yards with five total touchdowns, and Chris Brazzell scored three times, though an offsides after a takeaway stalled a late short-field opportunity.
- Josh Heupel defended Gilbert and called the loss a collective shortcoming, as Tennessee’s skid against Georgia reached nine with UAB up next on Sept. 20.
