Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel didn't love one replay that was shown on Saturday during the Tennessee Vols' 20-13 win against the Texas A&M Aggies. 

The most exciting play of the Vols' win against the Aggies was easily Dee Williams' 39 yard punt return for a touchdown that gave Tennessee a 14-10 lead in the third quarter. 

Williams' return was possible thanks to a well-placed punt by Jackson Ross — which Williams downed at the one-yard line. 

The football was maybe an inch or two from breaking the plane, which would've resulted in a touchback. 

While reviewing the play during "The Josh Heupel Show", Tennessee's head coach commented that he wasn't sure why the replay was even shown in the stadium. 

"I couldn't believe they actually replayed it in the stadium," said Heupel while reviewing the win with Vol Network's Bob Kesling.

The football appeared to be an inch or two short of the goal line, but that's about as close as it gets. But I can understand Heupel's comment about the replay because it was close enough that Texas A&M could've challenged the play. I think they would've lost the challenge, but Heupel's point is that whoever is in charge of replays at Neyland should've never let the Aggies' sideline have a look at it on the video board. 

Fortunately for the Vols, it proved to be inconsequential. But in the future, the replay operator at Neyland might want to be a bit more careful when it comes to showing replays of close plays that initially go in Tennessee's favor.
