Tennessee, down 26-31 with 54 seconds left, came up a yard short on a 4th and 21 and the fans in the stand started throwing things onto the field. Lane Kiffin got hit with a golf ball. Tennessee's own cheerleaders were getting pelted and left the field, as did the band. they are clearing out the student section. This might result in a suspension of the game which could be turned into a forfeit, which would deny the Vols, (who had 3 time outs), any chance at a miracle finish. The field is full of water bottles and even a mustard dispenser.
 
20 minute delay as they throw debris onto field

Inexcusable behavior.

The WR was not short though. The side judge was over 15 yards behind the play and gave a terrible spot. I was shocked that they didn't overturn it in replay.

Doesn't excuse their actions though they're clearing the student section and will keep playing.

He was short. From the various replays you can see the ball was on his hip when his knee touched and his hip did not make the line to gain.
 

Medwick later commented: "I knew why they threw the stuff, (various vegetables) at me. What I can't figure out is why they brought it to the ballpark in the first place."

Lane Kiffin must have had the same question about that golf ball.

Any couches?
 
I hope Lane got the ball so he can play it with his golf buds next time out. " I'm going to beat you guys with this ball that some hillbilly up at Rockytop hit me with after the Rebels went up there and beat the Vols".
 
I always wonder what the unlucky random fan who gets stuck as the photo with a headline like this thinks when they see themselves plastered across Twitter.

That lady is probably just some HR Rep for a Tractor Supply chain in Knoxville who’s now the face of anarchy.
Those are big beers. Looks good too.
