Can you tell us more about the 2010 Tennessee debacle? Why were you more aware of the clock than JJ? What was his confusion? What was going on in the team's mind down on the field before the penalty was called? How did the dynamic of the team change once the second chance was available?

Let it be known that I got UNBELIEVABLY LUCKY that we won this game. I didn't snap the ball because I knew they had 13 people on the field I just did it because the clock was going to run out. The craziest part is I had a true Luke Skywalker moment where I saw Will Blackwell's head appear and yell at me to snap the ball. The reason was he had made fun of me for a year because I didn't snap it against Ole Miss the year previously and we lost. The confusion was that we didn't have a play called. We called a running play with zero timeouts and now way to stop the clock however normally you would have an immediately follow up play called, but we did not. After we got snapped there we're multiple formations being signaled in and to this day I am not sure how we were in a legal formation, but sometimes its better to be lucky than good. The emotional U turn that took place was one of the most intense experiences of my life. To go from losing the game to then having a chance to win it in a winner take all 0:00 left on the clock situation, and then following through and getting in the end zone was spectacular. I had like 13 family members there too including my sisters who never got to go because they lived in California. Amazing memory will carry it with me forever.
Also, Jarrett is the real hero of that game. Came in cold on 4th and 18 and got us a first down… thats crazy
