Dylan Sampson makes Tennessee football history with touchdown

Tennessee’s Dylan Sampson made some Volunteer football history in the fourth quarter against Kentucky on Saturday night. And it came via a notable assist from his offensive line.

Sampson, upon punching in his 19th rushing touchdown of the season, broke a 95-year-old record for single season rushing touchdowns, held by Gene McEver. But Sampson likely wouldn’t have scored on the specific play without riding the wave of his offensive linemen to the endzone.

Taking an inside handoff inside the 10, Sampson ran into a thicket of his own blockers and defenders before spinning left and finding more resistance. But that wouldn’t stop him, nor his linemen, who turned the whole ordeal into a rugby-like scrum. Tight ends, receivers, and even quarterback Nico Iamaleava joined in.

And it resulted in shuttling Sampson across the goal line for a record-breaking score.
