As the Neyland Stadium field filled with orange-clad fans, and ambitious fans tugged away at the goalposts that served as the setting for Chase McGrath's game-winning field goal, a song familiar to Alabama fans blared over the loudspeakers.

"Dixieland Delight," a song by the band Alabama that serves as an Alabama football tradition late during home games, blared on the Neyland Stadium speakers. It played as UT coach Josh Heupel ended his post game interview with CBS' Jenny Dell.
