Last Saturday’s thrilling game between Georgia and Tennessee was truly inexplicable.
There were two touchdowns — and thus two lead-changes in the span of less than 20 seconds. The 43-yard Hail Mary completion from UT QB Josh Dobbs to WR Jauan Jennings gave the Volunteers an inexplicable 34-31 victory over the rival Bulldogs.
On Monday, Georgia Kirby Smart had to relive the last-second score during his weekly press conference. He proceeded to delve into the specifics of the play:
“To be honest, every kid on the field executed their job. We got a little boxed out by Jauan Jennings, but it wasn’t like you can watch the play and say ‘This guy didn’t do what I told him to do.’ We got out-jumped and he timed his jump a lot better than we did, which I think everybody saw.”
“That’s what we practiced. That’s what we practiced in camp. That’s what we walk through. That’s what we do every Thursday. We just simply went with our philosophy. We believed and trusted in that. That’s not to say it’ll be the same all the time, by all means.”
