What happened
No. 17 Tennessee's successful onside kick against top-ranked Texas was incorrectly officiated, according to the Southeastern Conference. The onside kick came after Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon threw a 30-yard TD pass to Mike Matthews to pull the Vols within three at 20-17. Tennessee punter Jackson Ross pulled off the onside kick by faking right and drop-kicking it to the left.
