Georgia’s win streak against Tennessee is now at nine games.

The No. 6 Bulldogs got a wild 44-41 overtime win over the No. 15 Volunteers on a 1-yard TD run by Josh McCray after Tennessee was forced to kick a field goal to start overtime.

The game went to an extra period after Tennessee kicker Max Gilbert’s 42-yard kick sailed wide right with just seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. 

The Volunteers had a chance to win the game in regulation after Georgia tied the game with 2:32 to go on a 28-yard pass from Gunner Stockton to London Humphreys on fourth down. It was a phenomenal throw and catch as Humphreys made an over-the-shoulder grab of a perfectly placed ball.
