Top 5 Max Gilbert memes cracking up the internet after Tennessee kicker misses 3 FGs

Tennessee kicker Max Gilbert struggled to find the goal during the Vols' Week 10 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats. With this 28-18 victory over the Wildcats, the Vols stay in the race to compete for the conference title and a spot in the new 12-team playoffs.

The redshirt freshman place kicker did not have a great game against the Wildcats. Gilbert missed all three field goal attempts for Tennessee at Neyland Stadium. This led to fans creating hilarious memes about the Vols kicker and his misses.

Here are the top 5 memes about Max Gilbert that are cracking up the internet following the Week 10 showdown.

The Vols kicker might find himself not being a part of the Tennessee family from Monday.

Will Josh Heupel give Max Gilbert another chance with the Tennessee Volunteers?

The Vols place-kicker will have to sweat it out during practice.

Gilbert missed a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter. The Wildcats took an early lead thanks to a 27-yard TD pass from Brock Vandagriff. The Vols then leveled the playing field after a 1-yard touchdown from Peyton Lewis.

Gilbert fumbled another 40-yard FG attempt in the second quarter. This led to Alex Raynor helping Kentucky secure a three-point lead by the end of the first half. In the third quarter, Gilbert again failed to convert a 34-yard field goal attempt.

However, the Vols took the lead thanks to touchdowns by Dylan Sampson and Miles Kitselman. Ja'Mori Maclin's touchdown for Kentucky in the fourth quarter almost gave them hope to make a comeback. However, Dylan Sampson scored another touchdown to put the final nail in the coffin and secure the win for the Vols.

Max Gilbert has been pretty consistent despite his underwhelming performance against Kentucky

Gilbert redshirted his freshman campaign for Tennessee under head coach Josh Heupel. However, despite his underwhelming performance and disappointing misses in Week 10, he has been consistent for his team this season.

In eight games, Gilbert has made 12-of-the-18 field goals he's attempted for the Vols. During last week's victory over Alabama, he went 1-3 and ended the night with a 41-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Despite his lackluster display in Week 10, Josh Heupel has faith in Max Gilbert's abilities.

"He is good enough and confident enough to go put it through the uprights," Heupel said. "Got to keep pushing."

The Vols are scheduled to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Week 11. It will be interesting to see if they emerge as a potential contender for this season's national championship.
