It’s finally here. Tennessee will head to Norman, Oklahoma on Saturday night to face the Oklahoma Sooners, officially welcoming them to the Southeastern Conference. It’s the conference opener for both sides, and even though it’s still early in the season, the stakes are high.
The winner of this game will be firmly on the path to the College Football Playoff, while the loser must stare down a loaded SEC schedule to get back in the hunt. We’ve got postseason ramifications, a big time quarterback matchup, and a beloved former player turned fired coach returning to the place where it all began for him.
