The undefeated Tennessee Volunteers are set to host the UT Martin Skyhawks this Saturday afternoon in Neyland Stadium. The University of Tennessee will also be celebrating both Homecoming and the 50 year anniversary of Title IX on campus.
To show support for Title IX and to honor legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt, Tennessee will be incorporating Summitt Blue accessories into the classic all-orange uniform combination.
After three Top 25 SEC teams in the span of four weeks (with the bye), Tennessee will have an easier challenge this week with the Skyhawks in town. But while UT Martin is an FCS program, Jason Simpson’s squad brings in a high-powered offense that has scored 30 or more points in all but one game.
