The Vols look to bounce back from a disappointing performance against the Florida Gators last weekend, and they’ll look to take out their frustrations on Chattanooga, an FCS opponent.

Tennessee looks to end a 3-game losing streak and get back into the win column for the first time since defeating Arkansas State in Neyland Stadium back in early September. Today should be an easy victory for the Vols, but anything is certainly capable of happening.
