This loss is going to sting for a long time. Tennessee football had a win over Georgia in their grasp, but it wasn't meant to be, with Georgia posting a 44-41 overtime victory. From our chair, however, this one should not have gone into OT.
It was all there for kicker Max Gilbert to drill the game-winner as time expired. However, a false start on third down pushed Tennessee back five yards and to the left hash. Gilbert's kick went wide and then the rest is history.

With that said, why didn't Heupel run another play after the false start to get the ball back in a better spot for his kicker?
