The No. 23 Tennessee Volunteers (2-1) are gearing up to host the University of Texas-San Antonio (1-2) on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium.
This will be the Vols’ first game against the Roadrunners in program history.
Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III is set to lead the Vols while quarterback Eddie Lee Marburger is reportedly going to conduct the UTSA offense for the second straight week while starter Frank Harris Jr. is out with injury. Marburger doesn’t bring the same experience to the table that Harris Jr. does but still has a big arm with him.
