Tennessee (1-0) will host Pittsburgh (1-0) on Saturday in the Johnny Majors Classic at Neyland Stadium (noon EDT, ESPN).
The matchup will be the third between head coaches Josh Heupel and Pat Narduzzi.
Heupel came to Tennessee after serving as UCF’s head coach from 2018-20. UCF defeated Pittsburgh in 2018 and the Panthers were victorious the following season.
Ahead of Saturday’s contest, Narduzzi discussed if Tennessee’s offense resembles what he competed against during the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
“It looks very similar,” Nardizzi said of Heupel’s offense. “I’m sure they’ll have some tweaks for us, maybe that they didn’t show in the first game, but very similar.
“I think they’re snapping the ball faster. Probably an average of 11 seconds, they’re snapping the ball on offense.”
