Tennessee fans tear down goalposts after win over Alabama
The goalposts in Neyland Stadium on Saturday are now a part of Tennessee football lore.
The posts fell minutes after the Vols' 52-49 win over Alabama, the first over the Tide since 2006. Tennessee fans stormed the field immediately after Chase McGrath's 40-yard field goal wobbled over the crossbar as time expired.

The Vols are 6-0 and are certain to move into the top five of the USA TODAY Coaches and AP polls. McGrath's field goal
It reminds one of Tennessee's victory over Florida in 1998 in Neyland Stadium. The goalposts were also torn down that day.
