The contest kicked off Tennessee’s 2023 season in Week 1.
“Thanks to Vol nation for showing up in a big way,” third-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said. “I believe we set another Nissan Stadium record for attendance. I think that happened the last time that we were here, too. Obviously everybody here understands how important the mid-state, this area is, our fan base, our alumni that are here, but also on the recruiting side of it. A great, unique opportunity to open it up the way we did this season here in Nashville.”
