• UNBEATEN: Tennessee is 5-0-1 all-time in season-opening neutral site games, dating back to the 1987 season opener.
• RARE BIG 12 MATCHUP: The Belk Kickoff Classic against West Virginia will mark the second time that the Vols have faced a Big 12 opponent in a season-opening neutral site game. Tennessee faced off against eventual national champion Colorado (now a member of the Pac-12) to open the 1990 season in Anaheim, Calif.
