4. Joshua Dobbs finds Jason Croom to cap off a last-minute drive against SC to tie it
Tennessee fans will remember this one for a long time as the play that sent this game into overtime. Vol fans should also remember it as another way Jalen Hurd stepped up. Hurd has the key block on the corner here to give Dobbs enough time to fine a wide-open Croom standing in the end zone. How does Croom get so open? A fair amount of blame has to go to the SC defense.
There were four Gamecocks on that side of the field to cover UT’s trips formation to that side of the field. One runs with Johnathon Johnson, two follow Von Pearson out to the flat, one steps up when Dobbs rolls out and Croom, who started as the outside receiver of the trio, hooks right at the goal line. Nobody is there to pick him up. Dobbs keeps his composure despite six SC defenders eventually rushing the play, makes a nice throw and UT ties it up. (3:43 mark)
