KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Vols earned a huge win on Saturday, beating Kentucky 45-42. To celebrate, fans will be able to grab two free cookies.
Alontae Taylor, a Vols' defensive back player, announced earlier in the season that if he caught an interception during a game, everyone would get two free cookies from Moonshine Mountain Cookies. He filmed a video with the company and posted it on Twitter.
Tennessee was up 31-28 in the third quarter. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis threw an interception, Taylor came up with it and then housed it for a pick six to extend the Vols lead to 38-28 after an extra point.
Moonshine Mountain Cookies is closed on Sunday, however, Taylor delivered and people will be able to enjoy some cookies on Monday!
It was part of a name, image and likeness deal that players had the chance to be a part of this year. With these kinds of deals, players can work with companies and associate themselves with brands while playing college athletics.
The deal continues throughout the football season. Whenever he catches an interception, Vol Nation will get cookies.
