Tennessee may not be opening the season in prime time, but it will still have plenty of the national attention it’s used to.
The Vols have a pair of September games set for afternoon kickoffs at 3:30 as the television schedule started to take shape on Thursday, with a non-conference meeting with Cincinnati on the Sept. 10 picked up by ESPN2 and the annual rivalry game with Florida again picked up by CBS on Sept. 17.
The series with the Gators has another new look, but it was still the pick for CBS to begin its 11th season of national coverage of the SEC. Another new face will be on the sidelines when Tennessee travels to Florida for its first meeting with Will Muschamp, but that might only add to the intrigue of the early season, divisional showdown in The Swamp.
This will be an exciting conference’s Game of the Week broadcast, setting the stage for what could be a marquee win for either Muschamp in his first season or Derek Dooley in his second with UT.
The Vols open the campaign with home dates against Montana and the Bearcats before hitting the road to take on the Gators, one of just four contests away from Neyland Stadium this fall.
