Dan Williams to push the game into triple-overtime. In the 3rd overtime, the Vols had a chance to end the game after an Austin Rogers touchdown reception, as they only needed a 2-point conversion. However Arian Foster was stopped short on an off tackle run and was also flagged for a personal foul for throwing the ball up in the air after the play was over. Kentucky had scored in the first half of that overtime period when Burton caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Woodson. The two-point conversion failed, as Woodson's pass fell incomplete, setting up UT for the opportunity to win with a touchdown and two-point conversion. When they failed to cash in on that opportunity, Foster showed his frustration by slinging the ball, and was flagged for a 15-yard penalty. The penalty put the Vols in a hole to begin the 4th overtime period, forcing them to start from the 40-yard line. Nevertheless, the resilient volunteers scored their final touchdown in another one-play, 40-yard drive as Ainge found Hancock wide open. The Volunteers scored the two-point conversion as well, with Ainge hitting Rogers on a quick slant. Kentucky matched the score when RB Derrick Locke ran in from the 2-yard line. Kentucky then needed to match the Vols' two-point conversion. The game-winning play came as Woodson was tackled from behind by DE Antonio Reynolds and a forced fumble was recovered by the Volunteer Defense. That play ended the 5-hour thriller with the final score: 52–50. SEC Championship Game: LSU Pregame line: LSU by 7.5 Tennessee faced the LSU Tigers in its first SEC Championship Game since 2004.

LSU last played in the SEC title game in 2005, losing to Georgia. This time, Tennessee led the contest for a majority of the game, before surrendering the lead following a late interception. The Vols took the opening kickoff to the 38-yard line and from there, the offense drove 62 yards for a touchdown. That drive was capped off by an 11-yard touchdown reception by Chris Brown. LSU answered in the first quarter with two Colt David field goal, to cut the deficit to 1 point. A scoreless second quarter made the halftime score 7–6. LSU
