Tennessee submits the Hayden Hansen penalty that erased a touchdown to the SEC. Details below 👇👇👇

Reed first announced his presence last year as a redshirt freshman when he entered a late-October game against LSU in the third quarter and led the Aggies to four straight touchdowns in a 38-23 win. He did it, however, while attempting only two passes and running for three touchdowns. He threw for at least 200 yards in four of his five starts down the stretch,

But Reed last year didn’t have a pair of field-stretching receivers like Mario Craver (Mississippi State transfer) and KC Concepcion (NC State transfer). On Saturday night in South Bend, Craver had seven catches for 207 yards (139 after the catch) and Concepcion had four for 82. Both were essentially decoys on fourth-and-ballgame when Reed pumped and fired to the left side of the end zone, where Boerkircher was alone with linebacker Drayk Bowen in coverage.

Notre Dame defensive coordinator Chris Ash will not be a popular man in South Bend this week.

4. I don’t think Notre Dame is a bad team by any means. The Irish lost two down-to-the-wire games against high-quality opponents. They may well have won Saturday if former starting QB-turned-holder Tyler Buchner hadn’t botched the PAT snap after Notre Dame’s last touchdown. But the Irish now have zero margin for error. Simply put, they have to win out to make the   (Austin Mock’s bracket predictor gives them a 20 percent chance of making it). And they may have to do it by beating people 45-40.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M asserted itself as a legit contender. It’s about to play three straight winnable SEC home games against Auburn, Mississippi State and Florida. We’ll know head coach Mike Elko is truly different than his recent predecessors if A&M actually wins the games it’s supposed to win.

5. Tennessee fans brought some of their finest smack talk to the “College GameDay” set, holding signs such as “UGA = U Got Arrested” and “Georgia spends its NIL on bail.” Then the game began, and it looked like they’d soon be minting quarterback  as the new Peyton Manning, with the No. 15 Vols jumping out to a 21-7 lead on . The Bulldogs eventually went up 27-21 in the third quarter, but no worries, Aguilar immediately hit Chris Brazzell II for a 56-yard TD, and later Braylon Staley for a 32-yard TD. It was 38-30 Vols with less than three minutes remaining.

But despite Josh Heupel finally   , the day ended in No. 6 Georgia  Tennessee’s ninth straight loss in the series. It was a blown opportunity for a program that has come so far under Heupel but can’t quite climb the last rung.
