Kirk Herbstreit witnessed Tennessee dominate Kentucky in Saturday night’s 44-6 victory.
After working the game for ESPN, Herbstreit commended the Volunteers fanbase on Twitter. He called Neyland Stadium “as hyped as any stadium I’ve been in” while covering football across the country.
“This

offense is terrifying but don’t sleep on that defense,” Herbstreit wrote Saturday night. “Played their best game of the year. But the stadium, game ops, crowd, and the passion is INSANE.”
Tennessee clearly left an impression on Herbstreit. He followed up with more praise on Sunday morning, calling the “massive” stadium “just incredible.”
He also identified Tennessee as his No. 1 team in the nation. The Volunteers entered Week 9 ranked No. 3, but the rest of the world may agree with Herbie if they remain undefeated next weekend.
Tennessee heads to Athen for a seismic game against No. 1 Georgia on Saturday afternoon. Everyone will likely acknowledge the winner as the country’s premier team.
