College football fans in Tennessee took home some souvenirs after Sunday morning’s massive win over Alabama – the goalposts.

After the Tennessee Volunteers took down No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide 52-49, more than 100,000 Tennessee fans stormed Neyland Stadium’s field and sparked chaos after Chase McGrath booted a wobbly, yet game-winning 40-yard field goal as time expired.

It’s the first time Tennessee topped Alabama since 2006, ending a 15-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide.

They will move ahead of Alabama when the new rankings come out.

Video from the stadium shows fans knocking down a goalpost, with one shirtless fan straddling its pole.

The pumped-up fans kept the energy – and the goalposts – by later carrying on outside the stadium and into the streets.

Hendon Hooker drove the Volunteers 45 yards in 19 seconds to set up the winner. An 18-yard pass to Ramel Keyton and 27-yard hookup with Bru McCoy set the stage for the winner.

“It wasn’t my cleanest hit,” said McGrath, who missed a PAT earlier.

“I didn’t have the best contact on the ball.”

Jalin Hyatt caught six passes for 207 yards and a Tennessee-record five touchdowns.

“This is college football at its absolute best,” Volunteers coach Josh Heupel said after the win.

“We were the best team on the field tonight. That’s all we can control.”

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, a game-time decision because of a sprained right shoulder two weeks ago, completed 35 passes for 455 yards and two TDs.
