Tennessee fans are excited to have No. 1 Georgia in town this Saturday. If Josh Heupel’s Volunteers are going to pull off the big upset, the Neyland Stadium crowd will need to be a factor in disrupting the dogs.
Roman Harper is in Knoxville with the rest of the “SEC Nation” crew. The former Alabama standout recalled Tennessee being the loudest crowd of his college career.
“This was the loudest crowd I played in until I got to the NFL,” Harper told reporters. “And this bright orange, that is only ‘Tennessee orange’ is everywhere.”

The noise that Harper faced as a player may not even compare to what the Georgia Bulldogs may hear when they ride into Knoxville Saturday as the top team in the nation.
You know Vol fans will be ready, but will Georgia? All questions will be answered Saturday afternoon.
