Everybody is talking about the dates for SEC games since the league released the 2022 schedule for every team Tuesday night. However, when it comes to Tennessee football, the real story is a major non-conference switch the Vols made.
UT was initially slated to face the Army Black Knights in 2022 on Sept. 17, a date that was marked back when Dave Hart was athletic director. However, it was well-documented that the Vols were trying to get out of that game. They appear to have pulled it off.
The slate shows Tennessee football hosting the Akron Zips on that day now.
