Kentucky Wildcats true freshman wide receiver Hardley Gilmore has never played in Neyland Stadium before, but he knows what to expect on Saturday against the Tennessee Vols thanks in part to the new EA Sports College Football video game.
Gilmore told reporters this week that he's expecting a "big loud stage" when the Wildcats visit Knoxville.
"It's going to be a big loud stage I heard," said Gilmore. "I mean, I play NCAA — I see how loud it is. So it's loud."
"The screen shakes, the stadium pulse, they're [ranked] top three," added Gilmore. "So their stadium pulse is loud, it's going to be loud. We gotta just knock that out and just play football at the end of the day."
Tennessee is expecting one of its loudest crowds of the year on Saturday night. That's partially because the Vols will be wearing their "dark mode" uniforms. It's also because Vols head coach Josh Heupel challenged Tennessee fans to be even louder than normal after Alabama's radio play by play man falsely accused Tennessee of piping in crowd noise.
“Neyland doesn't need anything fake or piped into the stadium to be the loudest place America,” said Heupel. "Hopefully our fans take that personally, enjoy this bye week and come back and be louder than ever the next time we're at home."
It sounds like Kentucky might be paying for Alabama's sins this weekend.
