LIVE Updates: Tennessee vs. UTSA

The Tennessee Volunteers are squaring off against UTSA this afternoon. Volunteer Country has you covered with the latest.

The Tennessee Volunteers are looking to get back on track after a tough loss to the Florida Gators last week. The UTSA Roadrunners stand in their way this week, and the Vols need to correct some things against them before moving on to conference play.

The biggest question is the passing offense, which has been unusually uninspiring through three games. We’ll see if they can correct things this afternoon - follow along to Volunteer Country for the latest updates on the action from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
