KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The #23 Vols went through their third day of preparations for #19/17 Oklahoma on Tuesday. Butch Jones led the Orange & White through a padded practice under hot sunshine in Knoxville where the temperatures hit 90 degrees in early September.
Saturday’s stage is already setting up for a visually stunning home debut with the return of #CheckerNeyland and Tuesday’s official announcement of a sellout crowd. Couple that with the fact that Saturday’s game will mark Tennessee’s first non-conference game at home with two ranked teams since 2006 and you’ve got all the fixings for an incredible game-time atmosphere.
