When Tennessee’s football team takes the field tonight at Auburn, it will look to snap a four-game losing streak in 2020.

While things have looked grim for Tennessee lately, Nov. 21 has been kind to the Vols. UT may be able to reverse its bad fortunes tonight when it takes on Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EST and the game will be televised by ESPN.
