Tennessee football score vs UT Martin: Live updates
No. 4 Tennessee football faces UT Martin in its homecoming game, serving as a bridge between the Vols’ big win over Alabama and their upcoming rivalry game against Kentucky.
The Vols (6-0) and Skyhawks (4-2) will play at noon ET at Neyland Stadium. It will be televised on SEC Network.
Tennessee is a heavy favorite over UTM, an FCS member of the Ohio Valley Conference. So the Vols could improve on their eye-popping numbers. They lead FBS in total offense (551 ypg) and rank No. 2 in scoring offense (47.7 ppg).
