Josh Heupel discusses Tennessee preparing for Tiger Stadium

Josh Heupel discusses Tennessee preparing for Tiger Stadium against LSU.

No. 8 Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) will play at LSU (4-1, 2-0 SEC) Saturday in Week 6.

Kickoff between the Vols and Tigers is slated for noon EDT. ESPN will televise the SEC matchup.

Second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media Thursday and discussed the Vols preparing for crowd noise at Tiger Stadium.

“Obviously, it will be a great environment,” Heupel said. “Crowd noise is a part of it anytime you go on the road, but we practice the crowd noise to force the communication that’s going to be needed during the course of game day too.

“Typically, we’ve handled it pretty well. That’ll be a big part of the game though, being able to handle the noise there.”

Heupel’s final preview of the Tennessee-LSU game is listed below from a transcript provided by the University of Tennessee.
