Josh Heupel praises Tennessee’s players, fans in aftermath of blowout win at LSU
Published:
Tiger Stadium at LSU has long been considered one of the toughest venues in the nation for opposing teams.
It didn’t look that way for Tennessee on Saturday, however.
Not only were the Volunteers dominant on the field, their fans turned out in droves and made an impact as well.
“It was a lot of fun,” said Tennessee coach Joh Heupel after the 40-13 victory. “Our fan base was absolutely fantastic. As soon as we got anywhere near the stadium, you could see the orange.
“You could feel their energy. … Our players fed off the energy. Really good performance by our football team in all three phases of the game. Really proud of the energy and effort they played with.”
"Our players fed off of the energy from our fans."
