The Vols, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri and South Carolina have open dates on Saturday in the SEC.

“For some of our guys, get healthy and also get some work in,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said of the Vols not playing on Saturday. “Focus is on us. Fundamentals, technique, things we control. Have to take a step. Young guys have to continue to grow. It’s been a point of emphasis with our team meeting – out on the grass.”
