The University of Tennessee played it right. The received a huge amount of free publicity for the next few days. As a result admissions applications will increase, donations will increase and their fan base will grow a bit. They raised more than $150,000 in two days to replace the goal posts.

Quote from AD about goalposts, "we sure had a lot of fun." From the President of the University about the cost of replacing goalposts, "it doesn't matter."

A game like that has 80-100 police on duty. They called them off and let the kids march the goalposts out of the stadium and one mile down the street to dump them in the Tennessee River (which also runs through a long stretch of Alabama.)

Alabama had the ball 1st and 10 at the Tennessee 32 with 30 seconds left in the game, ran 3 plays, attempted a FG and still managed to lose the game in regulation.

That’s on Saban. The game should have gone to overtime. Instead of running the ball —which would have forced Tenn to use a time out—they threw twice, both incomplete. Not only did they fail to gain any yardage to help their kicker, they left Tenn with one precious timeout—which they then used to stop the clock with 1 sec left to kick the winning field goal.
