With the Vols not kicking off until after your kids’ bedtime on Saturday, you have an entire day of relaxing and scouting ahead of you. Future Vols opponents South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt are all in action in the early time slots this weekend, as are a handful of Top 25 matchups of national interest. Here’s when and where to find those games, 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.

There’s a game Wednesday night, but it’s of no interest to Vols fans, so the week really kicks Thursday.

AFTERNOON
#12 Oregon #25 Washington 3:30 PM ABC Channel hop 2 Top 25 matchup

Tennessee #1 Alabama 9:00 PM ESPN Live Go Vols!

At noon, Vols fans get a chance to see next week’s opponent — South Carolina — in action against former opponent Florida. We’re hoping for a nice scouting report and a blueprint wrapped up all pretty-like with a bow.

Get your remote limber for the afternoon slot, as three future Vols’ opponents are in action at the same time as two Top 25 matchups. We’re hoping to spot some exploitable vulnerabilities in Missouri and to stoke existing hope against Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

The evening time slot kicks off with a Top 25 Big 10 matchup between No. 16 Michigan and No. 7 Penn State, so watch that live until the Vols kick off against No. 1 Alabama at 9:00 on ESPN and then hope for a memory that will last a lifetime. Go Vols!

Enjoy!
