Alabama thought it had scored but the touchdown was nullified by a holding penalty in the third quarter Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee then saw the Crimson Tide take a delay of game penalty.
So, Alabama was looking at third-and-goal from the 16.

Somehow, the Crimson Tide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks wound up on the turf with the Tennessee defender.
Out came the flag, and a bad situation turned into a first-and-goal from the Tennessee 2.

The next play saw Jahmyr Gibbs score his third TD of the game and the PAT put the Tide up 35-34.

The reason Tennessee was down by a point — at that point — was because Chase McGrath missed a PAT after the previous Vols score.
