College football fans all made the same joke after Tennessee’s devastating fumble against Alabama with 7:49 remaining in the game to give Alabama a 49-42 lead in Knoxville.
Rocky drop.
Hendon Hooker mishandled an exchange with Jabari Small, and the ball hit the turf only for Alabama’s Dallas Turner to scoop it up, and rumble from the 10-yard line into the end zone to give Alabama the lead.
It was the second turnover of the game for Tennessee, but it might be remembered as the most costly.
A SCOOP AND SCORE!

In the future, when this play is looked back on, I demand it is dubbed “Rocky Drop.” https://t.co/1oXC6RL2k8
