Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EST and will be televised by ESPN.
The Vols will look to rebound after losing four consecutive games to Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas. Tennessee opened the 2020 campaign with wins over South Carolina and Missouri.
Ahead of Saturday’s matchup, College Football News previewed the Tennessee-Auburn game.
College Football News provided a scenario of what could happen for Tennessee to defeat Auburn.
Can Jarrett Guarantano somehow recreate the magic of a few years ago?
The Vols were able to beat Auburn in 2018 when Guarantano went off for 328 yards, two touchdown passes, and a whole slew of big plays. The Vols either need him to catch fire, or hope the experience Harrison Bailey got in the Arkansas game is enough to be ready to step in and give the Tigers trouble.
Auburn might be finding ways to come up with wins, but the defense hasn’t been great at getting off the field – Tennessee has to somehow keep the chains moving. The Tiger pass defense got hit by LSU for 315 yards, and the run D that got ripped up by Ole Miss a few weeks ago.
There isn’t one glaring weakness on the AU D, but it’s generally just okay.
