Following her point, an official reportedly gave her the scoring ball, according to The Associated Press.
Fuller made history on Nov. 28 when she became the first woman to play in a Power 5 game, delivering the kickoff against the Missouri Tigers. Before that, she was the first woman to suit up for an SEC football game.
