Tennessee fans storm field, tear down goalposts after big victory against Alabama

Saturday’s breathtaking game between No. 8 Tennessee and No. 1 Alabama serves as your weekly reminder that college football is like no other.

In what has the case for being the game of the year, the dramatic but highly entertaining 52-49 victory for the Volunteers came by way of a 40-yard field goal from kick Chase McGrath as time expired.

And in the aftermath of the knuckleball somehow floating its way through the uprights, how did the more than 100,000 fans at Neyland Stadium celebrate the program’s biggest win in years? As expected — loudly, with a storming of the field and with a tearing down of the goalpost. Actually, make that two goalposts.

OPINION: Tennessee makes case for No. 1 ranking with long-awaited win vs. Alabama

But the celebration didn’t stop there.

The goalpost made it up the stands.

And out of the stadium.
