Encouraging fans to get inside Neyland Stadium earlier than usual with President Donald Trump coming to Tennessee's college football game against Texas sure worked Saturday. Fans in their seats got to see Air Force One fly over the stadium on the way to the nearby airport. The president left in the second half. Trump’s visit didn’t appear to affect communications between coaches and players on the field. Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian said this week that when a president attends a game, security could shut down the teams' sideline headset communications. Both schools reportedly worked with the Secret Service to coordinate audio channels to keep communications clear.
