The atmosphere at Faurot on Saturday night, with a little over 58,000 fans in attendance, was electric, and coaches and players alike took notice. The crowd made themselves heard.
“I wanna thank the fan base, the entire student section,” defensive coordinator Blake Baker said. The atmosphere was amazing. That was a big time atmosphere.”
“That was the loudest I’ve heard it since I’ve been here,” Jaylon Carlies echoed. “The team just fed into it, seeing the crowd behind us.”
Baker even went on to say that the unusually fast start for the defense was in large part thanks to the crowd.
