Enough talk, let’s play. Tennessee heads to Nashville this weekend to get their 2023 season rolling, set to take on the Virginia Cavaliers out of the ACC ranks. We think we’ve got Tennessee figured out at this point, but what will the Vols be facing against Tony Elliott’s squad?
Frankly, it’s a team in rebuild mode. Bronco Mendenhall surprised the college football world when he retired two years back, and Elliott took the job just one year after Tennessee expressed some interest. Unfortunately for Elliott, the first year resulted in just three wins, and was marked by tragedy as three members of the football team were killed in an on-campus shooting.
