Tennessee football’s week four matchup at Oklahoma is at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, the SEC announced on Monday afternoon. ABC hasn’t announced its broadcasting crew but it will likely be its top crew: Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Holly Rowe.
The week four matchup is one of the biggest SEC games in September. It’s Tennessee’s conference opener and Oklahoma’s first SEC game since joining the conference this summer.
The storylines are galore in the projected top 25 SEC matchup. It marks Josh Heupel’s first trip to his alma mater after Bob Stoops fired him as offensive coordinator following the 2014 season. Heupel is one of the best quarterbacks in Oklahoma history, leading the Sooners to the 2000 National Championship while finishing runner up in the Heisman Trophy.
