Kentucky Player Claims Tennessee Football Had Fake Crowd Noise at ...

Skinner said Tennessee speakers amplified noise on third downs as the Wildcats lost 34-6, while officials denied the allegation.

  • On Monday, Kentucky tight end Mikkel Skinner alleged that Tennessee pumped artificial crowd noise into Neyland Stadium during Saturday's 34-6 loss, claiming the speakers were loudest during third-down plays.
  • Accusations of artificial noise at Neyland Stadium are not new; Alabama radio broadcaster Chris Stewart made similar claims in October 2024, prompting Athletic Director Danny White to dismiss them repeatedly.
  • White defended Tennessee's noise as "just 100K+ beautiful, booming, Big Orange voices!" while Knox News found no evidence of artificial amplification in its 2024 investigation.
  • During the lopsided loss, Kentucky faced seven penalties, all on offense, including two procedural infractions. Skinner stated he would respect the noise if it were real, questioning its authenticity.
  • Neyland Stadium holds a scientifically verified record of 130.3 decibels, documented by the Health Sciences Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology, as Tennessee prepares for Saturday's game against the Aggies.
