Senior Day will take place on November 29th against Vanderbilt.
Checker Neyland comes quickly this year in one of the most important games of the season. It will be the season opener for the Volunteers, who will be welcoming in Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs once again. The Tennessee-Georgia matchup has moved all over the calendar in recent years, and this year it serves as the first big matchup inside of Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee will also honor legend John Henderson during the Georgia game. Henderson will be the latest member of the College Football Hall of Fame in December.
Homecoming on November 15th will serve as the first ever meeting between Tennessee and New Mexico State.
