Tennessee Coughs Up the Craziest Turnover to A&M After a 54-Yard Run

And then like that (*snaps fingers*), the ball went from imminent touchdown to the other team's possession. Whose dream is it now?

Yep, just the way you draw up a turnover. https://t.co/ZGaTbB67Id

There are a lot of football nightmares where you can imagine yourself coughing up a turnover. At the line of scrimmage with a bad snap. Throwing a deep bomb into enemy clutches. But it takes a special kind of half-fantasy/half-nightmare concoction to cook up what happened to Tennessee midway through the first quarter against Texas A&M.

The dreamy part: Tennessee's Alvin Kamara receives a pass from Joshua Dobbs before the line of scrimmage, and rips a neat little cut behind the defensive line, who are now making chase. Kamara avoids nearly every A&M player, as he cuts up the sideline. But then:

The nightmare part: Instead of going for a tackle, A&M's Armani Watts reaches in for a vice grip on the ball, spinning Kamara out of control and into a tackle. The ball leaves Kamara like the cliff edge at the beginning of a mountain climbing free fall (sorry—I was just watching "Cliffhanger" last night).

And then like that (*snaps fingers*), the ball went from imminent touchdown to the other team's possession. Whose dream is it now?
