3. Curt Maggitt and Derek Barnett unleash on Dylan Thompson in overtime
These are technically two plays, but it led to one result against the Gamecocks: An overtime win. After getting shredded all night on defense, the Vols responded in overtime after the offense hit a field goal to give the Vols a 3-point lead in the first overtime.
Derek Barnett and Curt Maggitt sacked SC quarterback Dylan Thompson on back-to-back plays and then the defensive line forced a third incompletion to make SC attempt a nearly-impossible field goal from about 57 yards out. It fell well short.
“I thought the defensive front, especially Curt Maggitt, came off the edge with a whole other presence in overtime,” said coach Butch Jones. “Same thing with Derek Barnett and you know, forced them to go all the way back.”
