If you watched the Tennessee Vols beat the Alabama Crimson Tide on ESPN on Saturday afternoon, you probably didn't see UT head coach Josh Heupel's post-game interview. 

ESPN, on some platforms, cut away from the game before Heupel's on-field post-game interview was aired. 

And it's one that Vols fans will want to see. 

A noticeably hoarse Heupel, likely from yelling at officials all night after a game that was full of questionable calls on both teams, joined ESPN's Molly McGrath to discuss the win. 

At the end of the interview, Heupel turns to Tennessee fans who rushed the field and started jumping up and down in celebration.

There's no doubt that beating Alabama means a lot to Heupel. That's as genuine of a celebration as you'll see in college football.
