"It was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing for a noon game. It was pretty fun. It was pretty interesting," Swinney said. "This was my first time up for a game. I game up for a spring game but it was nothing like that. It was amazing, the fans were amazing everybody was hyped up. "
"They ran the ball a lot. I talked to coach (Robert) Gillespie after the game and he said they ran the ball 41 times in the game so that's a positive thing for me," Swinney said. "They run the power and that's what my team runs, we run the power a little and that's what it looked like a little bit."
"Knoxville is just a beautiful place," Swinney said. "I like everything about Knoxville and I like the coaching staff. Plus, it's just a quick little drive up there."
"I don't really have a top group or anything, I 'm still open to everybody but Tennessee is pretty much at the top of my recruiting list. They are up there," Swinney said. " They run the ball a lot and that's what I want to do. And the coaching staff, they're trying to build a winning team and start some great things."
