Tennessee (3-6, 3-6 SEC) concludes its regular season Saturday against No. 5 Texas A&M (7-1, 7-1 SEC) at Neyland Stadium.
Kickoff is slated for noon EST. ESPN will televise the matchup.
The Vols ended a six-game losing streak last week by defeating Vanderbilt, 42-17.
Third-year Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher discussed playing Tennessee following a victory over the Commodores.
“This team is a talented football team,” Fisher said of Tennessee. “You look at them inside, very physical, big, strong guys, defensive front, don’t get moved very well. Edge rushers can edge and rush, guys can hold the point — backers very active, athletic, good ball skills.
“Secondary, multiple looks, very aggressive, play very physical in the secondary good ball skills, tackle well. Offensively, Eric Gray is a really good player. The receivers are athletic, big, strong, get vertical down the field, can run. Offensive line is big, strong, the young quarterbacks have come in, did a really nice job for them the last couple of weeks. We need to play very well.”
Texas A&M enters the contest having won six consecutive games. The Aggies’ only loss this season came in its second contest. Alabama defeated Texas A&M, 52-24, on Oct. 3.
“We’re going to play an A game, going to be a tough SEC road game we need to play very well,” Fisher said of playing at Tennessee. “They’ve practiced very well and have a great week of preparation this week to go on the road and play a good Tennessee football team.”
