Tennessee Football Opponent Preview: ETSU Buccaneers

After a 40-14 loss at the hands of No. 17 West Virginia last Saturday, Tennessee returns to the friendly confines of Neyland Stadium this week to take on East Tennessee State.

Tennessee, though it did have a few bright spots in its season-opening loss, did not look overly impressive in Jermey Pruitt’s debut as a head coach. The Vols will look to get to pick up their first win of the season against an in-state FCS opponent this week.

Overview

ETSU began playing football again in 2015 after discontinuing its football program following the 2003 season.
