The No. 9-ranked Tennessee Volunteers averted disaster Thursday night with a 20-13 overtime win over the Appalachian State Mountaineers at Neyland Stadium.
On the first possession of overtime, quarterback Josh Dobbs attempted to scramble into the end zone on 3rd-and-goal, but he was stood up by a defender and fumbled, only for Hurd to recover it in the end zone for the go-ahead score.
Fox Sports 1's Clay Travis tried to play it off as normal:
Just like Tennessee drew it up.

AL.com's Brent Conklin didn't:
That is the craziest touchdown in the history of touchdowns.
