SEC Network announcer goes viral for hilarious mistake during Tennessee vs. Mississippi State game

SEC Network play-by-play announcer Dave Neal went viral during Saturday's matchup between the Tennessee Vols and the Mississippi State Bulldogs for a hilarious gaffe he made in the second half.

In the third quarter, with Mississippi State trailing 20-17, the Bulldogs attempted a 42-yard field goal.

The attempt was shanked to the right -- the TV broadcast showed that it wasn't even close.

Neal, however, said the kick was good.

"And this kick is good, boy, he's got some kind of leg," said Neal before realizing the kick was no good.

In Neal's defense, it can be tough to tell from the angle in the press box if the kick is good.

Unfortunately for Neal, the internet probably won't care about the view from the press box. This is a clip that will likely be circulating for a while.


window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {if (event.data.totalpoll && event.data.totalpoll.action === 'resizeHeight') {document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-1476').height = event.data.totalpoll.value;}}, false);document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-1476').contentWindow.postMessage({totalpoll: {action: 'requestHeight'}}, '*');
