Tennessee football fans broke out the first victory cigars after running back DeSean Bishop punched in his second touchdown of the game, putting the Vols ahead of Alabama by two scores with 3:17 left in the fourth quarter.
As the final seconds ticked off on the No. 14 Vols' 26-10 win over No. 7 Alabama
(5-2, 3-2), more smoke rose from the stand from fans' cigars and the smell drifted down to the playing surface.Meanwhile, athletic director Danny White asked fans not to tear down the goal posts in a message on the Neyland Stadium video board.
The goal posts remained along with the smoke as fans stormed the field.
After taking part in the postgame field storm, Tennessee players and coaches moved their celebration into the locker room, where defensive
coordinator Jim Knowles busted out his best dance moves.
