[scores4fun]

SPECIAL TEAMS

Chase McGrath, PK, Tennessee

• McGrath connected on his only field goal attempt of the night on the biggest stage, making a 40-yarder as time expired to give No. 6/8 Tennessee its first victory over No. 3/1 Alabama since 2006 by a score of 52-49.
• The kick was Tennessee's first game-winner as time expired since Michael Palardy hit a 19-yard try to defeat No. 11 South Carolina on Oct. 19, 2013.
• It was McGrath's first game-winning field since a 43-yard make against Texas as a true freshman at Southern Cal on Sept. 16, 2017.
• From 40 yards or less, McGrath is 16-of-17 for his Tennessee career, including 10 makes in a row.

That was the ugliest game winner I have ever seen. It was also my instant favorite.

Congrats Chase!

Oh, and please don't move toward the snapper until AFTER the ball is snapped.

It wasn't a field goal, it was a tip toe goal that sneaked across the goal post bar. For his next performance, he will exhibit a hippty-hop FG, the ball hits and crossbar, bounces up, and falls over the bar.

Not being Negative, just stating the facts. Special Teams must have been really down if he is player of the week. He made one ugly kick and missed an extra point.

Happy for him but I agree. The moment almost got him.
