The Tennessee Volunteers are best known for the electric atmosphere inside Neyland Stadium. Tennessee's fanbase is one of the most passionate in collegiate athletics, and every year, they "Checker Neyland," a tradition where fans alternate sections of the stadium with orange and white to create a visual representation of the school's colors.

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava confirmed he will be in the game on his Instagram. EA Sports launched a trailer for the game, released details on how it would play, and set the release date for July 19, 2024. It's one of the most interesting game releases of the decade, and many eyes will be on it upon release.
