It was worth waiting 15 years for if you were a Tennessee Volunteers fan.
Tennessee downed Alabama, 52-49, on a 40-yard field goal by Chase McGrath as time expired Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

This was a remarkable college football game. Incomprehensible drama.
The kick came after Hendon Hooker found Bru McCoy with a 27-yard pass on a play that ended with two seconds left. McCoy is a transfer from USC
McGrath’s game-winning kick “wasn’t pretty but it was beautiful” as CBS play-by-play voice Brad Nessler said.
Alabama had a chance to take the lead seconds earlier but Will Reichard missed a 50-yard field goal.
