Music City Bowl, Tennessee Vs. North Carolina: Janzen Jackson Spear, Time Management Disaster, Overtime

The end of regulation at the Music City Bowl may have been the wildest finish of the entire season, and the game's not over yet. After Tennessee scored, the North Carolina Tar Heels nearly converted a fourth-and-20, but Dwight Jones dropped the pass on the other side of the line. The Vols ran some clock then punted back.

Heels QB T.J. Yates fired a 28-yard pass to WR Todd Harrelson that was extended another 15 by an incredible spine-to-spine spear by CB Janzen Jackson. Sort of looks like something out of Mortal Kombat, or maybe in one of those Grant Theft Autos where bodies are flopping off of rails and balconies:

Yates then completed a dart to Jones for another first down and clocked it. For some reason they decided to hand off to Shaun Draughn with 16 seconds left. He failed to get the first down. UNC's field goal team took the field while the offense tried to figure out whether to spike the ball again. With about 19 or 37 players on the field, including two herds of offensive linemen, Yates spiked the ball.

Referees ruled the game over, and Vols players began to storm the field.

O, Derek Dooley.

After review, officials ruled there was one second left. A five-yard penalty was assessed for having 68 players on the field, and Casey Barth booted the tying kick as time expired. The Vols were also hit with a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, apparently for roughing the kicker, which will be assessed in overtime. Wow.
