No. 15 Tennessee (1-0) kicked off its 2024 football season with a 69-3 win versus Chattanooga (0-1) on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Tennessee led the Mocs, 38-0, with 10 minutes, 14 seconds remaining in the second quarter after a touchdown reception by wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. from quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
Prior to Josh Turbyville’s kickoff touchback, returning possession to Chattanooga, “The Stroke” by Billy Squier was played at Neyland Stadium.
The 1981 song was a fan favorite at Tennessee baseball games during the Vols’ 2024 national championship season.
Tennessee third baseman Billy Amick’s walk-up song was “The Stroke” in 2024. While Amick approached the batter’s box, the song would play throughout Lindsey Nelson Stadium with fans and players clapping above their heads to the hit.
