Why Tennessee’s win over Alabama will cost the school $500,000

Tennessee's victory over Alabama on Saturday resulted in a $500,000 fine for the University of Tennessee. The SEC imposed the penalty for fans storming the field following the team's 26-10 upset win. This marks the 11th consecutive time following an Alabama road loss that fans have stormed the field, a tradition that dates back to Auburn in 2013.

Despite dominating from the opening kickoff, Alabama struggled against Tennessee's defense, which forced two turnovers in the first quarter to create an early 9-0 lead. The Crimson Tide managed to score one touchdown in the second half, but it was their only score of the game. Keelon Russell threw for 147 yards, but the offense only managed 93 yards in the first half. Tennessee will face South Carolina on October 24 in a game set to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
