Josh Heupel asked on the SEC Teleconference why Neyland Stadium gets so loud: Our fans are passionate and understand football. They show up every Saturday and that's where it starts.
Neyland Stadium gates will open earlier than normal on Saturday for No. 1 Texas vs. No. 14 Tennessee with Donald Trump attending the game
Fans are "strongly encouraged to arrive significantly earlier than they would for a typical game."

On Monday, Josh Heupel told reporters that Tennessee would make sure DeSean Bishop would be “fully ready to go on Saturday.”
That was true. Bishop is not listed on the SEC availability report and will suit up against Texas.
"Great opportunity playing a great opponent in Texas. A ton of respect for that program and understand the quality of the opponent, the experience that they have."

The Vols haven’t had much trouble starting fast against Top-10 teams under Josh Heupel.
Tennessee averages an 8.3-7.9 lead after the 1st quarter....but then comes the 2nd quarter.
The Vols average just 3.7 points in the 2nd, while the opposition averages nearly 12.
Saturday isn’t just about starting fast, it’s about sustaining it.
So if Tennessee jumps out early, don’t celebrate too soon. The 2nd quarter has been where things get dicey.
Trump being in Knoxville when GameDay being there makes it even more absurd this game is a noon kickoff. At least with a midafternoon/night kick people would have more time to prepare and get to the stadium. Talk about an absolute nightmare
The Vols are 3-0 this season (every game) and were 5-0 last season (Cuse, ETSU, UAB, Arkansas, and Florida) when rushing for 200+ yards as a team.
Going for two bills on the ground seems important on Saturday.
