On fourth-and-11 from the Vols' 24-yard line, fifth-year punter Jackson Ross hesitated before stepping into his punt. Georgia Tech's Trae Stevenson Jr. took advantage of the extra moment and rushed Ross, blocking his kick.

The ball rolled around near Tennessee's goal line before it was scooped up by Elgin Sessions for a Yellow Jackets touchdown, putting them up 7-3 with 5:49 left in the first quarter.

It was the second straight week Georgia Tech scored a special teams touchdown after returning a kickoff for a score against Colorado in Week 1.
