The Neyland Effect was full tilt during Tennessee's 26-10 victory over Alabama on the Third Saturday in October.

There were 105 unique events scientifically measured that exceeded 120 decibels from field level of Neyland Stadium during the game according to data taken by the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology.

The department utilizes a Larson Davis sound level meter in the south end zone.

No crowd pops were louder than during a huge sequence in the third quarter with the Vols leading 19-10. Defensive end Tyree Weathersby recorded a sack on second down with 3:56 remaining in the stanza. The ensuing play, the Crimson Tide committed a delay of game penalty that made it third-and-16.

Neyland Stadium experienced 130.3 decibels (dBA peak) on field level for a noise event that lasted seven seconds during that sequence, which was the highest scientifically verified decibel crowd event in college football history. Alabama was called for a false start one play later.

"Louder than it's been all day, and that's saying something," said ABC play-by-play announcer Sean McDonough during the broadcast with 101,915 frenzied fans on hand.

The previous highest scientifically verified decibel crowd noise event at a college football game was measured on Oct. 27, 2007, when Penn State hosted Ohio State in Beaver Stadium. That contest featured a mark of 127 decibels (dBA) that lasted for two seconds.

During the Third Saturday in October game, Alabama committed six pre-snap penalties, including three false starts and two delay of games. Opponents have committed a combined 18 pre-snap penalties in Neyland Stadium this season, including 11 false starts.

"You (Greg McElroy) and I have both been in a lot of stadiums, none louder than this," McDonough said during the first quarter of the ABC broadcast.
