KNOXVILLE — Tennessee (2-4, 2-4 SEC) was set to host Texas A&M (5-1, 5-1 SEC) Saturday at Neyland Stadium (3:30 p.m. EST, ESPN).
On Tuesday, the Southeastern Conference announced that the contest has been postponed due to a combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Texas A&M football program, consistent with league COVID-19 management requirements.
“We appreciate Texas A&M’s communication this week,” Tennessee Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer said. “Our football program continued with its traditional game-week preparation as we awaited a decision on the status of Saturday’s game. We received confirmation of the game’s postponement this afternoon, and we will share pertinent updates with ticket holders via email and social media as developments occur.”
The game will be tentatively rescheduled for Dec. 12.
