There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Tennessee football right now.
The Vols are ranked 15th in the country with a 2-0 start after wins over Ball State and Pittsburgh so it’s no surprise that Big Orange Nation will be out in full force Saturday afternoon when Tennessee hosts Akron.

Akron is 1-1 with an overtime win over FCS program St. Francis and a 52-0 loss to Michigan State. By all accounts the Zips are expected to be a soft touch for the Volunteers and an opportunity to score a lot of points.
Next week Tennessee will stay at home and host the Florida Gators in pivotal SEC East matchup. That game will is also expected to be a sell out.
