There won’t be a seat to be had in Neyland Stadium when Tennessee faces Missouri on Saturday.
It’s Senior Day on Rocky Top, a day that Josh Heupel has tabbed as an emotional one. What makes it even more special is the terrific turnaround the Vols have enjoyed in Heupel’s 2nd season, their loss against Georgia notwithstanding.
Saturday, though, is a chance to get back on track in the final home game of 2022. On Thursday, athletic director Danny White announced that the game has sold out:

The Volunteers dropped to 8-1 (4-1 SEC) after a loss at Georgia. The defeat dropped them from No. 1 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings to No. 5 in the most recent one released on Tuesday. Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker was sacked a total of 6 times during the contest.
Kickoff from Neyland Stadium is set for noon ET, with the game set to be televised on CBS.
