Worst: Losing to Tennessee on a hail mary

No loss stings as bad as how Georgia lost to Tennessee. Just moments after true freshmen Jacob Eason and Riley Ridley connected an improbable, deep touchdown pass to give the Bulldogs a late lead, the defense gave up a hail mary pass to lose.

Ridley’s touchdown catch set off one of the loudest eruptions in Sanford Stadium history. It was also an amazing moment for the freshman making the first touchdown catch of his career. What should be a collection of moments replayed in the minds and on the screens of every Georgia fan, turned into something that fans would rather forget.

Mostly you have to feel bad for Eason and Ridley. They deserved all the glory, instead it was stolen on a hail mary.
