Be honest: how many times have you re-watched Zabien Brown's pick-six against Tennessee? If you say a number, I'm like Denzel Washington in "Flight" - I'm gonna say "more."
We can't get enough. Brown's pick-six will go down in Alabama football history as an all-timer. It was the difference in a comfortable, 17-point Crimson Tide win and a game that likely would have been a total dogfight in the second half.
It was a 14-point swing as time expired in the first half. Alabama led 16-7, but it sure looked like the Vols were going to punch in a touchdown - or at least kick a field goal - to cut it to a one-possession game going into the locker room.
Instead, Brown stepped in front of former Alabama TE Miles Kitselman and intercepted Joey Aguilar's pass, returning it 99 yards for a touchdown. You've seen the replay dozens of times by now, undoubtedly. The broadcast and alternate angles. But have you heard the Alabama radio call?
Crimson Tide Sports Network play-by-play man Chris Stewart had an epic call of Brown's pick-six. It's even better from the booth cam to see him and the rest of the crew, including former Tide QB Tyler Watts, react:
ZABIEN BROWN TOOK IT TO THE HOUSE! 100 YARDS!! OHH MERCY!!!

Even better, Patch's Ryan Phillips shared a video on social media with Stewart's radio call synced to the broadcast:

No disrespect to Sean McDonough and ESPN, but it just doesn't get better than Chris Stewart on the call for those kinds of moments. You can feel the palpable energy from him through the screen.
Chris Stewart's epic radio call makes Zabien Brown's pick-six even better
It'd be hard to make that moment any more exciting, but Chris Stewart certainly did his best to ensure it. Alabama's radio play-by-play is one of the best in the business in both football and basketball. His call of Brown's pick-six was epic and will likely be in the pantheon of all-time calls in what should be a long career in this role for Stewart.
Stewart's reaction is perfect because it's pretty much the exact reaction Alabama fans everywhere had during the interception and run back. It was one of those plays that was just totally unexpected and elicited a strong reaction as a result.
Watching the game, you're just hoping that the Tide's defense can keep Tennessee out of the endzone. You can live with giving up a FG. I don't believe anyone was prepared for what happened instead.
Brown's pick-six is another in a long line of historic Third Saturday in October moments, one that will be remembered forever by Alabama fans.
