Former Alabama Player Calls Tennessee Out For Cheating In A Major Way

There is nothing like the Alabama vs. Tennessee rivalry. This past weekend, the Volunteers beat the Crimson Tide 24-17, which sparked a lot of nonsense from the Alabama side.

Usually, the Volunteers are the victims when they take on Alabama, but in two out of the last three seasons, Tennessee was able to get the best of them both times coming at home.

Neyland Stadium is one of the best places to play a college football game, but one former Alabama quarterback thinks the team is cheating in Knoxville, which is why the stadium is so loud.

A. J. McCarron, one of the best quarterbacks to ever play for the Crimson Tide, took to social media on Monday to state that Neyland Stadium 100% pumps noise.

Pumping noise into a stadium is illegal and could cause major problems for the team and program, but there is no proof that Neyland is not playing by the rules.

The social media platform X community note stated that Neyland Stadium doesn’t pump artificial noise, shooting down any claim that McCarron is trying to make.

The Alabama vs Tennessee rivalry is one of the most underrated in the sport, and when the losing side comes out and claims the other team cheated, you know how big of a deal the rivalry is.

Alabama now needs to win out if they want any chance at making the college football playoffs since they already have two losses, and in a few weeks, they will head down to LSU to try and keep their season alive.
