The Tennessee Vols and the Alabama Crimson Tide don’t face off for another month, but the rivalry was alive and well on Saturday morning in Knoxville.

ESPN’s College GameDay was in Knoxville on Saturday for the Vols’ matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

During the interview, Tennessee fans hilariously started doing the Florida State Seminoles’ war chant.

Alabama lost their season-opener to Florida State two weeks ago.
