2019 college football TV schedule for Vols fans: Week 1

Last week’s appetizer gives way to the main course this week as college football kicks off in earnest. Here’s when and where to find the games that matter to Vols fans, along with some suggestions on how and why to watch them. First up is the list curated just for Vols fans. The full schedule follows that.

College football TV schedule for Vols fans, 2019 Week 1

Thursday features a few different opportunities. We’ll get some data on upcoming Vols’ opponent BYU, as the Cougars take on No. 14 Utah at 10:15 on ESPN. Prior to that, Georgia Tech rolls out an attempt to pound the square peg of a roster of players recruited to run the option into a round hole of a fancy new passing attack under a new coach, and SEC West contender Texas A&M is in action against Texas State.

There’s football on Friday night, too, if you care about either Wisconsin or South Florida.

At noon on Gameday, Vols fans should watch future opponent Mississippi State on ESPNU against Louisiana for whatever it’s worth, but you can also check in on former coaching candidate Scott Frost and his Nebraska Cornhuskers on ESPN against South Alabama.

The Vols host Georgia State at 3:30 on Gameday on ESPNU. Go Vols. Future opponents Alabama and South Carolina are in action at the same time on ABC and ESPN, respectively, so DVR those and watch them later this week. 

The big game of the week is Oregon vs. Auburn at 7:30 on ABC, so watch that live. Future opponents Georgia and Missouri are on in the same time slot on the SEC Network and CBS, respectively, so DVR those for future reference and perhaps check in on them from time-to-time if Oregon-Auburn gets boring.

Because it’s Labor Day and opening weekend, there are interesting games to watch Sunday and Monday night as well.

Enjoy!
