KNOXVILLE — Tennessee will open the 2020 season Sept. 26 at South Carolina.
The upcoming season consists of a 10-game conference-only slate due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Eric Gray enters his sophomore campaign for the Vols after totaling 539 yards and four touchdowns last season, helping UT to a six-game winning streak.
During the first week of fall training camp ahead of the 2020 campaign, Gray discussed how challenging it would be to have a 1,000-yard season in a 10-game SEC slate.
“We have to take care of our bodies for sure for that to happen and it is going to be a great thing to do,” Gray said. “If you can go out there and play 10 SEC games and put 1,000 yards up, who knows you can put 2,000 yards up.
“You can go out there and prove that you are that back, playing 10 SEC games. No one has ever done that, and you would be the first. That’s something special.”
