Tennessee prepares to face Kennesaw State in upcoming nonconference game

Tennessee football is set to play Kennesaw State on September 19 at Neyland Stadium. The Vols, led by coach Josh Heupel, are expected to perform strongly against Kennesaw State, who recently lost to Georgia State. Despite injuries affecting the roster, Heupel may choose to keep his first-team offense on the field to refine their passing game. The last nonconference opponent from Georgia, Georgia State, upset Tennessee in 2019, but the current team is seen as significantly stronger. Other matchups feature SEC teams facing off, including LSU against Ole Miss and Alabama against Florida State.
