The Tennessee Volunteers host the Furman Paladins on Saturday at Neyland Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EDT with the game broadcast on SEC Network+.

Historically, ties between the two schools include two Tennessee football lettermen who hailed from Greenville. J.B. Merritt played tight end for the Volunteers from 1967-68, while Joe Mills served as an offensive guard from 1973-74. The meeting continues the non-conference schedule for Tennessee as they prepare for the upcoming matchup.
