UMass kicker gets love after missing field goal... from Vanderbilt

Christopher Hanewinckel / USA TODAY Sports

With six seconds left on the clock and Vanderbilt up 34-31, junior Minutemen kicker Blake Lucas had a chance to tie it. 

He shanked a simple 23-yard field goal to the left, failing his overtime bid.

Lucas was devastated, but 6-foot-5, 305-pound Vandy sophomore Adam Butler was feeling so good he decided to spread the love with Lucas.

Hey, the kid needed a pick-me-up. Too bad it wasn't from his own teammates.
