It’s football time in Tennessee!
The Volunteers will get their 2019 season rolling this afternoon in Neyland Stadium, facing the Georgia State Panthers. Tennessee is looking to improve on a 5-7 record from last season. They’ll get a tune up game today, ahead of an interesting matchup against BYU next Saturday night.
The Panthers went 2-10 under head coach Shawn Elliott in 2018, ranking near the bottom of the barrel in rushing defense. With Tennessee’s much bigger offensive line this year, this should be a spot where the Vols can make some serious progress this afternoon.
This game will mark the return of offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, who will call plays for Tennessee for the first time since 2012.
