While I absolutely loved the play... I still have to say that the most impressive play I saw that rings in my mind was Derek Barnett covering the RB I think it was in the Texas A&M game... From a athletic standpoint it doesn't get a lot better than that for me.... What about yours guys?!?

3:48 mark. When TKjr intercepted that pass I knew the game was over and the streak was coming to an end.

I can say proudly that I was at that game right at the point of where Jennings made the bobbling catch down the sideline on Tabor... It's was awesome

The most amazing play I have and probably will ever witness as a Vol. That was a once in a lifetime moment.

Outside SCAR and Vandy it really was an amazing season. We beat Virginia Tech, Georgia, Florida, and Nebraska all in the same season. Not too damn shabby at all.

So many outstanding plays and special moments. What an exceptional effort so many games Team 120. Brings a tear to my eyes to see the Dobbs to Jennings hail Mary vs. Georgia (with or without the Celine Dion soundtrack).

After that pick I still had a feeling we were going to screw it up. Last year we had a 13 point lead with less time left. Then I saw both safeties line up 20 yards off the line of scrimmage. UF D had been playing the run and spying Dobbs all game but we had burned their all star corners so much Mac changed it up. Dobbs saw he wasn't being spied so he pulled it for 22 yards. They kept their safeties back so we kept running. 4 runs, 50 yards, TD, and the game

I knew we won after TKJRs int simply by looking at Florida's body language. They were whipped and you could just tell they were punch drunk and didn't want anymore. We weren't going to be denied and they knew it.

When you were in the stadium you knew it was over when Jennings scored.... They were hungry and they saw that steak dinner waiting for them.

With as much hate that Butch and DeBord get around here that play was designed to perfection. It looks like a heave and a prayer but it was designed to go to Jennings.

Malone and Jennings line up on opposite sides of the field so our 2 tallest receivers running deep means the defenders don't know which side of the end zone the pass is going to. UGA only rushed 3 so Dobbs could stay in the pocket, again leaving both sides of the end zone as a possibility. Dobbs looked right which pulled a safety to that side along with the corner covering Malone. When the pass was thrown neither of them had time to get into the play, which leaves 6 on 3. Josh Smith pulled back and faced Jennings to catch a reflection and a defender shadowed him, so 5 on 2. Croom gets in front of 3 defenders, some of them offensive guys who don't know how to position themselves correctly, and blocks them out like it basketball, pushing them back and away from the play. A UGA defender sees this and assumes it means Croom is getting ready to make a play so he pushes Croom and never turns around to look for the pass, so 1 on 1. Jennings got in front of his defender and jumped at the right time and made an amazing catch.
