As you can see in the clip, after being hit by two defenders, Eason fumbles the ball. Tennessee defensive end Corey Vereen recovered the football to give Tennessee the 28-24 lead late in the fourth quarter.
The play was Georgia’s first turnover of the game. Up until this point, Tennessee had turned the ball over twice – once on an interception and another on a fumble. On the ensuing position, Eason threw his first interception of the game.
