Twitter goes bonkers with epic Tennessee-Georgia finish
In what’s been the most exciting college football game to date in the 2016 season, the Tennessee Volunteers were able to outlast the Georgia Bulldogs on a last-second 43-yard Hail Mary pass from QB Josh Dobbs to WR Jauan Jennings for a final score of 34-31.
This play came on the heels of Georgia taking a 3-point lead just seconds prior — when Georgia signal-caller Jacob Eason found a streaking Riley Ridley for a 47-yard score with just 0:10 remaining.
Sanford Stadium went from sheer euphoria to sorrow in a matter of minutes. Suffice it to say, but this game more than revved up the scene on Twitter:

What a game! Jacob Eason showed why he's the future of UGA. Then Josh Dobbs reminded us the future isn't quite here yet! #TENNvsUGA

It took 9 seconds for Athens to go from celebratory drinking to depression drinking. Either way, hope they have Uber! #TENNvsUGA #UGA #TN

I am SICK. Had we converted when we got those interceptions we wouldn't need to worry about loosing in the last 4 seconds. #UGA #TENNvsUGA

From the moment of his team's biggest deficits (13-3 App, 14-0 VT, 21-0 UF, 17-0 UGA) onward, Dobbs has 15 total TD, 4 INT.
