Tennessee will play its 36th football game all time in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday. The Vols will face Syracuse at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (noon EDT, ABC).
"Great venue, great event and a great opportunity for us to go play a really good football program in Syracuse," Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said. "We have 20 players from the state of Georgia, I think 15 guys from the Atlanta area. They're going to have a lot of family and friends at the game. Great way for us to kick it off and find out where we're at."
