I was there too - never been to a more hostile environment before or since that game. Unreal.

Justin Worley: It was great to get back in front of the fans at Neyland. I don't know how many people were out here, but it was awesome.

WORLEY: i thought we came out well and did what we needed to do.

WORLEY: Every rep we take now counts.

WORLEY: Having guys taut have had some experience and take some of these new guys under their wing has been great.

Marlin Lane: There's nothing like practicing in front of your fans. I wish we could have 50,000 at every practice.

LANE: The energy of the fans made us even better out there tonight.

LANE: Our focus has been physical as running backs. We deliver blows and keep going downhill.

LANE: Justin (Worley) is the same guy every day. He comes out ready to work and gets it done.

Ben Frederickson: "Von Pearson, JuCo transfer, raved about the fans. Said no one would have come to an open practice at his last school"

Butch Jones: Thank you to the fans for coming out and creating a game atmosphere. We needed that for our development.

JONES: Everything is about competition. That's how you get better and tomorrow is another big day.

JONES: Todd Kelly Jr. had his best couple of practices. The game is starting to slow down for these younger guys.

JONES: We'll begin looking at our starters on Monday and see who is going to take us out on the field.

JONES: We wanted to do some things to learn how to play with crowd noise and distractions.

JONES: When we started our new third down tradition, that was great for us and gave us energy.

JONES: Feeding off the crowd's energy is what our football team needed.

JONES: This was a two-a-day, we had an intense practice at 9 this morning. It was good to see them come back and show intensity tonight.

JONES: I see great confidence from Justin Worley, taking ownership.

JONES: It was invaluable for our specialists to get reps in front of a crowd like this in pressure situations.

JONES: We did better things tonight, but we're still not where we need to be.

JONES: Josh Malone is a competitor.

JONES: Gaulden has really picked it up. The game is finally starting to slow down. We see him staring to make more and more plays.

JONES: You can never have too many returners, but we'll start to pare it down considerably.

Yes- I remember talking to players about that trip. It made the 92 win so sweet!

I missed this new tradition. Anyone know what it is?
