No. 11 Tennessee (8-2, 5-2 SEC) will play its final regular-season home game on Saturday in Week 13. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Vols will host UTEP (2-8, 2-5 C-USA) at Neyland Stadium. Kickoff between the Vols and Miners is slated for 1 p.m. EST and can be watched on SEC Network+.
Fourth-year head coach Josh Heupel kicked off game week on Monday.
“This week is our Salute to Service game honoring all the men and women that are serving and have served,” Heupel said. “It will be great to honor them and the sacrifices that they make, their families make. We appreciate everything that they do. It’s also senior day. You look at this group of seniors, so many guys that when I first got here, chose to stay here and have been cornerstones in building this program. A lot of guys that have played a lot of great football for us. Great leaders, but great individuals too, so it will be a special day to recognize them.
“Moving on, we’ve got UTEP this week. Opportunity for us to grow as a football team, continue to get better and the next step forward for us.”
