@chuck_campbell3 if it wasn’t for the 10 second runoff you had a shot at breaking the record for most points scored in a game by a kicker at Tennessee! Way to be perfect tonight! #wool
For people who were asking about this story earlier, here's my feature from 2011 on #Vols frat-couch kicker Derrick Brodus.
Legend.

Not a bad emergency kicker story, Clemson.
Not quite as legendary as the time Tennessee pulled an emergency kicker off a fraternity coach a couple hours before kickoff after making sure he was sober. But not bad.
Cover the whole country-Neyland Stadium is as HYPED as any stadium I’ve been in. This @Vol_Football offense is terrifying but don’t sleep on that defense-played their best game of the year. But the stadium-game ops-crowd-and the passion is INSANE.
It’s ON next week in Athens!
Brodus came to UT from Alcoa via a frat house sofa! A pregame injury left the Vols with no place kicker.
2011-12 he connected on 15 of 17 extra points & 8 of 9 field goals.
His 17 points vs Akron tied Alex Walls -Wyoming 02, Fuad Reveiz -Miss St 82 & Alan Duncan -Kentucky 78.
Nearly a decade ago, @Vol_Football had to scramble to find a kicker, Derrick Brodus, to bail them out from injury just hours before a game. Now @Lane_Kiffin & @OleMissFB have a punter that Kiffin says 'came from a frat-house keg party' https://t.co/bqo7qMk2iN @FootballScoop
