He also hit all three extra point attempts and had four kickoffs that forced the Volunteers an average starting field position of their own 16 yard line, including one at the one-yard line. Late in the fourth quarter, Sasser successfully converted an onside kick that set up an Air Force touchdown to make the score 31-30.
