Tennessee Football is just one day away from the start of the 2023 College Football Season.
The Volunteers enter the season ranked No. 12, with three teams whom they beat last year ahead of them. There’s simply no reason the Vols aren’t in the top 10, and the disrespect around the country will only fuel the fire behind Joe Milton and his Volunteer offense.
All eyes are on Tennessee Football as they head to Nashville for the opening game in Nissan Stadium against the Virginia Cavaliers. In this article, we will break down everything you need to know heading into tomorrow and more.

Prediction
UVA is the worst team in the ACC and one of the worst teams in all of College Football. I believe that Vegas has this spread all wrong and the Vols win by far more than just four touchdowns.
While this game is technically at a neutral site, it’s much more of a home game for the Volunteers than it is for UVA. I think that this game could get ugly quickly, and with the fast-paced offense that head coach Josh Heupel likes to run, the points could be endless for the Vols against a below-average defense with the Cavaliers.
However, this game is following the tragedy that happened to three of the Cavaliers football players last year, so there is going to be a fight like no other from UVA on Saturday.
Josh Heupel had this to say about the tragedy.
"“It’s obviously a horrific tragedy that took place there on their campus. They’ve had a long time to try and grow through that. We also recognize what happened. There will be a moment of silence before kickoff, and we’ll wear a decal of the three individuals that lost their lives on the back of our helmets.” –Josh Heupel on paying tribute to Virginia"
Final Score Prediction: Tennessee 52, Virginia 14
