Tennessee wide receiver Squirrel White started the Third Saturday in October scoring with a wildly impressive touchdown catch on Tennessee’s opening drive of the game.
With Tennessee driving down the field on the Alabama 39-yard line, quarterback Joe Milton uncorked a deep ball from the left hash mark. White had the mismatch on Alabama linebacker Chris Braswell and beat him screaming down the left sideline. Milton put the ball high and away from the speedy receiver as White went horizontal to make the grab in the corner of the endzone.
The Vols needed a strong start to this rivalry game and Milton and White delivered just that.
WHAT A GRAB. 🐿️‼️
