TWTW: Mount Cody Blocks Vols Win 12-10

((HT: WVLT-TV))

Daniel Lincoln's game-winning field goal attempt was blocked, and Tennessee lost to Alabama, 12-10, in front of a capacity crowd on the fourth Saturday in October.

Things looked bleak for the Vols, as they trailed 12-3 late in the fourth quarter.

But Gerald Jones caught a Jonathan Crompton pass and ran 11 yards into the end zone to get the Vols within 12-10 with 1:19 left in the game.

Denarius Moore recovered an onside kick, and Crompton found Luke Stocker at the Alabama 29-yard line, putting the Vols in position for a field goal.

But Alabama blocked its second Lincoln kick of the game, and the Crimson Tide escaped with the narrow victory.

All of Alabama's scoring came from the leg of kicker Leigh Tiffin, who had four field goals.

And those of us at OSG HQ still "wonder" why Mount Cody wasn't called for a celebration penalty since he removed his helmet after the block...

While the ball was still in play...

Just axin'...
