What to Watch
Tennessee’s margin control. The Volunteers have a conference schedule waiting and no reason to keep starters in past the third quarter, so how quickly they build a lead is the whole story of the night.
Kennesaw State is in its third season at the FBS level and losing at home to Georgia State says this roster is not yet ready for a night game in Knoxville. The full breakdown is on our Tennessee vs. Kennesaw State preview.
