Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield Says Neyland Stadium was “Unbelievable”

Last year’s Oklahoma-Tennessee game in Knoxville will likely be a sore spot for Vol fans for a long time. One of the main villains in that showdown, as far as fans of the Orange & White are concerned, was Sooners’ quarterback Baker Mayfield. He gutted out a comeback in the fourth quarter that stunned UT and he would go on to be a Heisman Trophy contender later in the season.

No matter what you think of Mayfield after OU’s shocking victory over the Vols, he thought very highly of his experience in Neyland Stadium. In an interview with Athlon Sports Mayfield was asked what venue besides Oklahoma Memorial Stadium he enjoyed playing in the most. Mayfield replied with this…

“Last year when we went to play Tennessee in Neyland Stadium, that was probably the best game experience I’ve had and probably will ever have. That’s a different type of loud. I can’t even describe it. It was unbelievable.”

Sounds about right for Neyland, doesn’t it? Anyone who has watched a game on the shore of the Tennessee River knows how raucously loud the stadium can get. Baker Mayfield is no exception. And maybe in the coming season, the stunningly noisy home of the Vols will play host to more joyful victories and less horrible meltdown losses.
