Tennessee kicker gets feisty after second-career made field goal

Don’t mess with Tennessee kicker Brent Cimaglia.

Cimaglia, a freshman, took over Tennessee’s kicking duties vs. South Carolina on Saturday with regular kicker Aaron Medley sick. After booting a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter, Cimaglia got bumped by South Carolina’s DJ Wonnum.

He didn’t take too kindly to it.

While we understand why Cimaglia was a tad salty about the bump, it’s probably not the best idea to go after a player that’s that much larger than you. Especially as a freshman. At least he had teammates around to de-escalate the situation.

The made field goal was Cimaglia’s second of his career in five attempts. He made a 51-yard kick vs. Florida earlier in the year.
