Shields-Watkins Field was absolutely chaotic when the clock hit zero against Alabama. And for good reason.
As the last seconds were falling off the clock, Tennessee kicker Chase McGrath knocked through the game-winning field goal to defeat Alabama in Knoxville. And once the kick went through the uprights, it was nothing but pandemonium.
Immediately after the field goal attempt went through, the students of Tennessee had already started to leap over the wall and onto the field. There was no stopping the wave of orange as it powered its way to the field. But, lucky, Tennessee was prepared and although they did have more security than usual, the security guards actively let the students through and even helped a number of them on several occasions.
It wasn’t hard to tell just how many emotions were on the field from both the team and the fans. A sense of relief combined with a sense of optimistic excitement mixed with the cigar smoke in the air to make for a truly remarkable scene in Neyland Stadium.
