Happy opening day of SEC football! We’ve got five days of college football this weekend, obviously finishing with the Tennessee Vols facing the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Monday night.

It is time to get the season started! And for Rocky Top, that means looking ahead to the details of their first game of the year.

Our news today focuses on that, based on Butch Jones’s press conference from Wednesday. However, there are also other things to update you on.
