Texas A&M Football: The Ten Biggest Moments of the 2016 Season

5. Trayveon Williams fumbles out of the end zone against Tennessee

In a matchup of undefeateds, the Tennessee magic looked destined to upend the Aggies’ perfect season. In familiar fashion the Aggie offense started to click early. Texas A&M jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead over the Volunteers. Then the Rocky Top voodoo, or whatever it was, began to take hold in the second half.

After a Trayveon Williams touchdown run to start the third quarter Tennessee would outscore the Aggies 28-7 over the final 25 minutes of regulation. It’s not that the offense went stale, but it did sputter. With three minutes left in regulation Knight took off for a 62 yard touchdown run to extend the Texas A&M lead to 35-21. Joshua Dobbs answered with a touchdown drive capped off by an Alvin Kamara touchdown run and the game was back within one score.

Texas A&M took over with 2:07 left in the game and just needed a few first downs to ice the game. Williams wasn’t content with just 10 yards. Instead, he burst through the Volunteer defense for what should have been a deafening 72 yard touchdown run.

A Play that Changed Everything

A few steps short of the game-clinching score a Tennessee defender knocked the ball free and it rolled out the back of the endzone for a touchback. Tennessee ball. Dobbs would lead another touchdown drive and Aggie kicker Daniel LaCamera would miss a field goal at the end of regulation, sending the game into overtime tied 38-38.

Williams rushed for 217 yards in what would eventually be an A&M victory. Oh what a difference that one extra yard would have made.
