Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray paid an unlikely compliment to the Tennessee Vols while calling the action in UT's 63-6 win over Akron on Saturday night.
Murray, who played at Georgia from 2009 to 2013, was extremely complimentary of the Vols throughout the entire game.
But at one point, he said something about Neyland Stadium and the Vols that surprised me a bit (only because it came from a former Bulldogs player).
Murray said that he believes Neyland Stadium is one of the most terrifying places in all of college football.
Murray later said during the broadcast that he also thinks Neyland is the loudest stadium he played at in the SEC.
Tennessee fans are a special bunch. Murray didn't even play against the Vols during the "glory years". Instead, he played against three different head coaches in Neyland — Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, and Butch Jones (the Vols won only one of those games, the Kiffin game).
For Murray to pay that type of compliment to UT fans, shows what kind of impact fans can have on a game at Neyland.
The atmosphere for the Akron game was fun — better than what most likely expected — but it will be nothing compared to the craziness of the Florida game next Saturday.
Buckle up. It's going to be a wild one.
