Tennessee took down Alabama in Neyland Stadium for the 2nd straight time in Week 8. The Vols escaped with a 24-17 win and many were impressed by the raucous crowd in Knoxville.

Then on Monday, the Tennessee Football account tagged EA Sports in a post showcasing the crazy-loud crowd. The post said that Vol Nation “speaks for itself,” and asked EA Sports if they agreed.

Upon release, Neyland Stadium was listed as the No. 13 toughest place to play in College Football 25. It’s safe to say that won’t be the case much longer after the game’s next updates.
Tennessee is 4-0 at Neyland Stadium in 2024. The team has wins over Chattanooga, Kent State, Florida, and Alabama. Tennessee has defeated heated rivals Alabama and Florida 2 times in a row at Neyland Stadium.
In Week 8, the Tennessee crowd made a difference against Alabama. The Crimson Tide were penalized 15 times for 115 yards, with several of those penalties being false starts or delay of games.
The Tennessee Volunteers will have another chance to show off in Week 10 against the Kentucky Wildcats. The 6-1 Volunteers will enjoy a bye week in Week 9 after the upset of Alabama in Week 8.
