The Vols will begin the 2019 season by hosting Georgia State on August 31st, and the game will kick-off at 3:30 Eastern and will be broadcast on ESPNU. Tennessee is 1-0 all-time against Georgia State, defeating the Panthers 51-13 in 2012.

The Vols will look to improve off a 5-7 season last year in Jeremy Pruitt’s first year as head coach. Tennessee plays their first three games of the season at home, making their first road trip of the season in Week 4 when they travel to Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators.

After that match-up with Florida, the Vols get a bye week before hosting Georgia on October 5th. Tennessee then hosts Mississippi State before traveling to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama.
