Even though Rosa is expected to play, it could be a hard time for him running the ball. The Volunteers have the third best run defense in the SEC, allowing 105.1 yards per game.
Tennessee is coming off of a 33-27 win over Kentucky in Lexington. The Vols will be hoping to get some more players healthy before going on the road to Missouri next. Neyland Stadium will be rocking regardless.
Saturday will be the first ever meeting between Tennessee and UConn. Kickoff will be at noon ET on SEC Network.
