Painful loss as an Alabama fan, but no denying it was a great battle by both teams. Congrats to Tennessee on the win, fought hard and earned it!

The best Tennessee game I've ever watched. This feels more special than anything short of the 98 national championship win.

Josh, you've been fair to Tennessee and its fans from day one, even when it was far more popular to kick a fallen giant that everyone else thought would never get back up. Thank you for that. We waited such a long time for this and while big crowds are by their nature dangerous there was no chance anyone was going to get seriously hurt by the crowd. All any of us felt was pure joy.

I'm a Bama fan and live just outside Knoxville. It was a Great game. I was surrounded by Vols fans and I made friends before I left. I even stayed and talked to the Vols people around as the goal posts came down.

That game lived up to the hype and more

The kid surfing the goal post was actually very touching moment.

What a great take on this game Josh. As a Bama fan, that game hurt, but it was a heck of game, Gratz to Vols on this epic win.

I enjoy seeing the bama fans congratulate vols fans. I am the most passionate vols fan there is, but i was around plenty of bama fans and we all had a blast. GBO!!

From a Buckeye fan. Great win Tennessee!

Weird stuff happened that night, 15 seconds on the clock to break the 15 year loss streak on the 15th day of October and it was USC transfers that made the plays at the end to win the game (one wearing the number 15) USC also being the school who grabbed Kiffin in the middle of the night starting the whole mess. On a side note Dooley lost another game in Knoxville in his first year as a Bama assistant, Dooley being the coach that killed us after the Kiffin wound. Oh yeah and all the transfers at OU and Bama getting beat but we have an OU player as head coach... Its like the curse lifted and all the stored up blessings pouring out like a dam breaking. I mean we even had Kiffin saying go Vols and making memes about Saban, Peyton there breaking the attending curse streak, am I missing anything?

Good for TN. As an LSU fan I know exactly how they felt. Good job Vols!

This is why College Football is the greatest sport. Everything about this game was special. So many people doubted Tennessee, but they ended up shocking EVERYONE. This game was an all-time classic, possibly the most important game in VOL history. Seeing a school like Tennessee rise after so many years of hurt and disappointment makes me happy. To all the VOL fans, you deserve this! I hope you continue to shock the world and build on this momentum. GBO 🍊

Without a doubt, hands down, the absolute most INCREDIBLE sporting event I've EVER attended. We vols fans have been waiting a while for this, and it showed. I think the way it ended probably added to the explosion of emotion. Had TN held a sizable lead like they had at one time, and the game ended that way, I don't think you would have seen quite the uproar at the end.

It never seems to get mentioned but preceding Bama's streak, back in the 90s, the Vols had a streak of 8 years. I remember one of those later years tailgating when some Bama fans walked by. Some Vol fans began singing The tune was Sweet Home Alabama but the words were "We own Alabama." The young ones likely are unaware that Tennessee has beaten Bama more times than any other team and Bear Bryant never beat Robert Neyland. Also, Neyland went an entire year unbeaten, untied, unscored upon. He also went 17 straight games without giving up a single point. Saban and the Bear are way up there but after he passed, the Bear said Neyland taught them every thing they know. Given all of that, when ESPN (I think it was them) had a poll asking for the 10 greatest coaches. Neyland didn't make the cut. Maybe I'm just too old.

Growing up, it was Bear Bryant vs Johnny Majors and yes, it was the best rivalry in the SEC, I promise.

ALABAMA-TENNESSEE LIVED UP TO THE HYPE ON A GREAT SATURDAY OF CFB 🏈 ..

I love your analysis Josh Pate!! You are by no doubt the best in the business brother!!

Great video. Gave me the chills a few times there! I'm VERY worried about Tennessee as a Georgia fan right now. They look red hot.

There is something so special about this team! Love the VOLUNTEERS!!🧡🍊🏈

Bryce and Gibbs are the Real Deal.. but to be honest Tennessee didn't have their star wide receiver Cedric Tillman and we were playing a walk on DB the last four defensive plays of the game. I think we're going to be more than ready for Georgia because we'll have those starters back.

And people were mad that you were going to the Bama vs Tenn game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Like there was any other choice!

Bryce is the best player in college football not one mention of him,he didn’t play last week against A&M,and Texas prepared for Bama for all off season,just everybody does,they get everybody’s best shot, and all the mistakes and in that environment and lose by only three, what a game, congratulations ti Tennessee

I’m a husker fan and man I hope we can have fun like this again with husker football GBR

Such a good game, I’m a Georgia fan and I was on the edge of my seat the whole game lol 🕺🏼

A Instant classic

Great win Vol's. Being an LSU fan and knowing we aren't going to be competitive this year.. I love your story... TAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME!! Geaux VOL'S... I love the SEC. And do a kindness.... Take this country boy fishing on one of your beautiful Tennessee lakes???

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! I’ve been a vol fan since the Heath Shuler days and I never thought I’d see this day again. I cried tears of joy in my living room.

Thanks for the great coverage of Tennessee Josh. I’m new to your shows but I’ve enjoyed it very much. Go Vols!!

As an LSU fan, GO VOLS!

As an OU/OSU/josh Heupel fan.... Go Vols !!!!

Jp you are awesome. We love the support for our vols you give us in Knoxville. So glad you got to celebrate with us Saturday night on Neyland

As far as the intensity of the rivalry, I will just add this. My Wife got Married on October 9th, 1993. When we were looking at Wedding Dates, we tried for October 2nd, but the Pastor couldn't make it. I immediately told my Fiancé that we couldn't get Married on the 3rd Saturday in October, because that was the Alabama Game, and she couldn't have that week. She Married me anyway.

First time watching your channel and coverage, and really enjoyed it, even if it was painful to hear about how my team (Bama) performed! Congrats again to the Vols!

Incredible episode!! Pate always delivers....Even on Sundays.

As a Georgia fan I hate Tennessee but at the same time I'm happy for them. I hope thier both undefeated in thier match up. Those "1 0 has to go" games are so hype. And it's gonna be Georgia's biggest test of the season.

I was at a wedding in Soddy Daisy outside of Chattanooga the day of the game. I'm an alumni of UT, everyone except for 3 people of the 75ish people there were Volunteer fans. The groom's father and grandfather were at the 2006 game, the last time we beat them. Let me tell you, the energy I felt there was incredible. We paused the wedding after the father daughter dance to watch the last 90seconds of the game. Groups of people huddled around cell phones, tablets, and even one laptop. About 20 of us crammed into the groom's suite which had an actual television. The kick happened, we all cheered continuously until the DJ dropped Rocky Top, we reveled some more, then they cut the cake. As a fan of any sport I've never felt this amount of jubilee, that was 3 days ago at the time of this post and my voice is still hoarse from screaming. Go Vols, it feels like '98 to me. Also shout out the Sadler's, the wedding was pretty cool too

Love My Vols. College football is better when TN is good. Go Vols 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

From an Auburn Tiger, way to go Tennessee!

My only hope as a Vol fan is that we don't treat this as the pinnacle. This is one step on the way to the pinnacle. A lot more work to do. Great win! I was going nuts when the game ended. But it wasn't the pinnacle. Prepare to dominate the next game. Then the next. And so on and so forth...

Rapidly becoming my place for CFB..Great coverage! You get it..Go Vols!!!

I always enjoy watching the Late Kick Podcast from Josh Pate. This was a Classic Case of Tennessee having more Heart than Talent! I absolutely admire the Guts of Coach Heupel in the last 15 Seconds as He Calmly decided to Play to Win and not take a knee and go to OverTime. Hendon Hooker looked like a NFL QB and executed Time Management to Perfection. So Proud of my Alma Mater and know that the VOLS have the Right Coach to lead this Historic College Football Program upwards and forward to the Top of the SEC! GBO!

When we got the ball back with 15 sec. I thought this was a sign. Because it was 15 yrs of heart break.

Great video you are 100% correct in your depiction of what went on at the stadium me and my brother were there and it will be something we will never forget

Man, Josh somehow me watching on TV just can't come close, even as sweet as it was from my vantage point, to the thick pungent aroma of this victory and ensuing celebratory madness,!!! Wish I'd been there brother.... Thanks for being there!!!

I remember 95 when they beat Bama in Birmingham with Peyton at the helm and that was epic.

My freshman year we had 3 wins and Pruitt, Lost to Oregon state in first round of March. Now look at us. 2 years later in my junior year undefeated with daddy josh. To say I’m so happy is an understatement.

What. A. Game. That's the SEC football I grew up on! I was seriously worried that Knoxville was going tomb burn to the ground from the celebration!

College Football is much much better when Tennessee is good! ! Because of Geography they have Tons of natural rivals and a fan base like no other

We threw that Goal Post in the The Tennessee River. I was there:)

Congrats Tennessee. Amazing performance by Hooker. Saban needs to re-evaluate how they're coaching that secondary. You put a dime linebacker in coverage on Hyatt all night? Putrid gameplan by Pete Golding coupled with excellent coaching by Huepel. Someone explain why you have the 2 best edge rushers in the country dropping back in coverage? It was unbelievable. One thing I'll say after last night, Bryce Young is a super hero. That kid took some shots (that should've drew a flag or 2) and dude made magic happen. He is still the best player in the country, hands down.

Josh Pate this is your best work since you took the job. This needs to go into the Hall of Fame do protect it.

I was not disappointed from kickoff to the ending field goal.

Josh you've became one of the best in the business. Fair and honest

Utah Utes fan here. Congrats TN, amazing effort!! Utah had a similar game Sat beating USC. We both have something in common though… the pleasure of beating Alabama.. when Utah beat Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl! 😂

I was at the Kick6... I've seen this movie before. Congrats Tennessee!

What will this Tennessee team look like when Tillman is back - with Hyatt and McCoy - UGA will have one more piece to plan for / I have been blessed to have been at both the LSU game last week and now the Bama game Saturday - by far the two best weeks ever - and best of all got to share these experiences with my kids who both attend UTK - Go BIG ORANGE

This was an incredible game. GBO 🧡🧡🧡

Bama call in shows are real comedy this morning.

This show has honestly changed the way i viewed this sport. I love it keep it up josh

Congrats to the vol nation. Hope we meet again 🤙🤙🤙🤙Roll Tide

Hendon Hooker & Jaylin Hyatt will be remembered by VOL fans forever. Their performance was unbelievable and perhaps will propel them to s possible playoff berth. There were also several recruits that attended this game. This could hopefully lead to a domino effect, as they will see a new SEC power is rising.

This was the best game ever and I didn't even change the channel during commercial because I didn't want to miss not even a second

Big lsu fan here. Rooting for the vols this season reminds me so much of 2019 lsu

It’s like I said previously, this reminds me of 2019 LSU and 2021 Georgia. Both teams could not beat Bama for years and were not called “legit” by most fans until they beat Alabama. Both went on to win the national championship. I’m not saying Tennessee is similar to those specific teams, nor am I saying they are better (those are two of the best teams of all time), but their paths are similar. Now Tennessee still has to go through Georgia, which will also be a very tough task, but I’m rooting for their success!

Man I'm happy for tennessee on one hand but I'm ready for my program to get going again! I did enjoy Watchung the game though, instant classic. Go Gators.

Saban spends all his time at practice with the DB’s, he is DB coach, Saban straight got out coached

This is what happens you get a bunch of German, Scots Irish together under one common cause

Those high-level passing offenses that Josh is talking about are those old Steve Spurrier Fun-and-Gun offenses, the Clemson offenses under Dabo Swinney with Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, and other high-level QB's that they've brought in, even Taj Boyd was one of those.

I can't stop rewatching this video.

A night of history. Most of the kids in the student section hadn't seen tennessee beat bama. One of the greatest games I've ever seen. Go Vols!!!

I was front row. First time ever on the road as a bama fan. I’m 25 years old and the first ever bama Tennessee game I saw was 2009, with the blocked kick by Terrence Cody. I went through all types of emotions, but overall the passion that was oozing from Knoxville all day was special. Tennessee fans, enjoy it. hope this rivalry is back for good I’ve never got to truly feel the rivalry between these two until Saturday it felt like. Roll Tide Roll and like Bryce said win lose or tie Alabama till I die

To all of the rest of the country SEC SEC!!!!

First time here, gotta put you on my recommend list.

Thanks for the great video!

Saban didn't say he didn't think the environment didn't affect the players, he said he thought they handled it well.

DAWG fan here…I’m so happy for Tennessee football and all their fans that have loyally stuck by their side all these years! I’d obviously love for UGA to win out, but it wouldn’t hurt me to see the VOLS go all the way! No matter what happens from this point forward…no one can take away that amazing Win they just picked up over BAMA! I know it’s only been 6 games, but TN is definitely a program on the rise! BTW…If Hendon Hooker isn’t on the top of the Heisman list then I swear it’s rigged!!

It was great to see Tennessee finally get over the hump. It is easy to assume that with Tennessee winning with this (not so great) roster in year 2 given the attrition and controversies Heupel has had to work through; the future will be very bright for the Volunteers. Parity in the SEC is good for college football as a whole and I’m glad to see it!

Tell me how Georgia is 1 when they play a cupcake schedule?

Bama class’09… great game Vols🙌 glad to have ya back. If I’m drawing a ⭕️… who doesn’t just RUN THE DAMN BALL on the 32 to drain the clock, make Tenn use TO and get lil closer for the kicker?!? 🤯

Congratulations to Tennessee. See yall in the sec championship game hopefully

Bama without Bryce Young would be an 8 win team

I think the Vols match up better against UGA than they do Bama. Stetson Bennett is no where near the caliber of QB that Bryce Young is. Young single-handedly carried that team to the end.

Wow 1907 a 50 burger was dropped on Bama. Great stat

Long over due win for the TN faithful- still haven’t played our best! GBO

I love it. People just crowning Bama SEC West champs. Not I said the fly

This win happened without the Vol's star receiver, Cedric Tillman. Wait until he's back and you'll see an even better Tennessee football team

Did you see coach Saban surrounded by Alabama state troopers and being practically lifted a few inches off the ground and carried very briskly off the field and through the tunnel??? God what a sight!!🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠

Good stuff bro! Rocky Top is on its way! 🤘

Amen to the “college football is great we than….fill in the blank. The anticipation for the season is it’s own season.

I’m still in disbelief…. And it should have been a 3 -4 more point win. That fumble/ missed handoff was a freak that gave them 7 points. Tennessee made some key mistakes and still pulled it out. That speaks to a different team than we’ve been cheering for stretching over a decade. Love it. You called it Josh! I didn’t have the confidence to say we win….I thought we would be in the game at the end but never expected to look like the better team overall. Never thought that before the game. I’m so happy!!! I do wish I could understand defensive schemes better because I did wonder why adjustments weren’t made on Hyatt Hes a burner but has just started to make a difference this year as far as a leader. First of the year it was quick outs 7 yard gain and step out of bounds. But I’m happy for the young man. Finally using his speed

Alabama graduate and season ticket holder here. Josh, you're always unadulteratedly on point with your reactions, and I agree with most what you have to say usually and in this one as well. First, congratulations to UT and their supporters who've been waiting a while on this moment, they are obviously as the y should be... Enjoying it. There were some absolute reprobate garbage Tennessee fans after the game saying things to some UA fans that should never be uttered or spoken, and I lay that partially on alcohol, and every fan base has some of those, it was just in full display in several instances last night, and that's unfortunate - but I know there's years of frustration and though this was one football game, I saw that spew over. Prayers for those few people that they may learn how to act if they're to be a winning program. Great job by the UT staff, well called game by them in all phases. I feel they out coached UA and UAs players were tight and even timid/nervous at times, discipline and penalties were issues and though I feel it was not a perfectly called game, great teams overcome that. This Alabama team is NOT great - by any stretch and if they are to become so this will be the caviat by which that will come. So far it's a team of great talent who's only reached good...and I feel they have a limitless upside, they must get out of their own way and start loosening up and having fun again to succeed. We need to examine at Corner Star and Safety our strategy and learn from this. Tennessee is recruiting better they are definitely an up and coming program and we will REALLY see what they have a couple weeks in Athens. I'd LOVE to handle our business, them handle theirs and do this ALL AGAIN in Atlanta... Indeed I am PRAYING for that!! But we will see. Great job examining the game/experience, and again congrats to UT. See y'all down the road...

I'm 55 and have been watching BAMA - TENNESSEE with my father since my childhood. I give it to TN for winning the game! Saban should have the team ready for MS this weekend! TIGHTEN UP D AND THE DC! ROLL TIDE BABY!

Watched this live but had to hear it all again GO VOLS

"jared is what we call him because that's his name" lol that was funny JOSH.

*Constructive criticism from a huge fan:* You often open a segment explaining last weeks' predictions or referring back to what you warned us about. I understand why, but I'd wager a majority of your fans don't care precisely why you were or weren't correct. We just want to hear your thoughts on what took place! *Love you Josh! Keep doing you*

Next year Tennessee goes to The Swamp and Bama. Can't wait to see how that plays out

Ii am 58 I remember great game between them but I am glad you had a great time I have been their before

I thought after the fumble for a touchdown here we go again, speaking as a long time Tennessee fan. Good dam thing the coaches and players for Tennessee didn't have my same mental mind set.

My favorite part is the security guard helping to make sure the goal post cleared the fence
