Antioch's Joey Aguilar nearly leads Tennessee to upset win over No. 5 Georgia
"Joey Aguilar threw for 371 yards and four touchdowns and ran for a TD to lead Tennessee. The Volunteers came from behind twice in the second half after jumping out to a 14-point lead in the first quarter. I started off in a groove, but those come and go, Aguilar said. In the middle (of the game), I was pressing a little bit. Chris Brazzell III caught scoring passes of 72, 14 and 66 yards."
"Max Gilbert kicked a 42-yard field goal to give Tennessee a 41-38 edge in overtime. Tennessee had a chance to win in regulation, but Gilbert pushed a 43-yard field-goal attempt wide right just before the final whistle. It's a series of one play that makes a specialist, Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. Sometimes your life gets showcased in a way where you get limited opportunities. That's the life of being a kicker."
Georgia came back from three deficits to beat Tennessee 44-41 in overtime, improving to 3-0 (1-0 SEC) while Tennessee fell to 2-1 (1-0). Nate Frazier's 21-yard run on Georgia's first overtime snap set up Josh McCray's 1-yard scoring run to finish the game. Max Gilbert made a 42-yard overtime field goal but had earlier missed a 43-yard attempt at the end of regulation. Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar passed for 371 yards with four touchdowns and ran for a score. Chris Brazzell III had three long touchdown receptions of 72, 14 and 66 yards. Coach Kirby Smart said the team showed an identity of fighting until the end.
