• Tennessee kicks o a three-game homestand when it hosts Tennessee Tech in UT’s 93rd homecoming game.

• The Vols are 70-19-3 all-time on Homecoming and have won each of their last two homecoming contests.

• Saturday marks the 100th homecoming celebration at the University of Tennessee. UT’s rst Homecoming took place on Nov. 11, 1916.

• A win on Saturday would make Tennessee bowl eligible for the third consecutive season under head coach Butch Jones.

• The last time the Vols reached three consecutive bowl games were the 2002-04 seasons under Phillip Fulmer.

• A win would also mark the second straight year that Tennessee has achieved bowl eligibility on Homecoming. Last year, UT defeated North Texas, 24-0, for its sixth win.

• Having racked up 9.0 total sacks in his last ve games, defensive end Derek Barnett is now the FBS active leader in career sacks (29.0).

• Last week at South Carolina, Barnett matched his career-high with 3.0 sacks. It was the third three-sack game of his career.

• Only a junior, the Nashville native is now just three sacks away from matching Reggie White’s Tennessee record for career sacks with 32.0.

Former All-American kicker John Becksvoort will be the Legend of the Game on Saturday.

Becksvoort earned All-America status in 1993, following his junior season. He connected on 59-of-59 point-after attempts that year, leading the SEC in scoring with 95 points.

The Chattanooga native currently ranks third on Tennessee's career scoring chart with 317 career points

Junior Evan Berry recorded his fourth career kickoff return for touchdown last week at South Carolina, matching Tennessee legend Willie Gault’s school record.

Following a South Carolina field goal late in the third quarter, Berry took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards to the end zone. That scamper pushed his season-long kick return average to 32.9 yards per return—good for tops in the SEC and second in FBS.

Last season, Evan Berry earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Year honors as well as consensus All-American status after he paced the FBS in kickoff return average (38.3). That mark fell just short of the all-time NCAA mark, but did establish a new Tennessee record.

Tailback Jalen Hurd rumbled in for a one-yard, first-quarter touchdown at South Carolina last week. That score pushed UT’s streak of consecutive games with a rushing touchdown to 23.

The 23-game streak stands alone as the second-longest in program history, surpassing a string of 22 consecutive games with a rushing touchdown from Oct. 1, 1994 to Sept. 7, 1996.

Tennessee’s all-time record for most consecutive games with a rushing score is 24, established during the 1937-1939 seasons.

Quarterback Joshua Dobbs and tailbacks Hurd, Alvin Kamara, John Kelly and Joe Young have all scored during the streak.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Tennessee’s streak is the second-longest active streak in FBS, trailing only Alabama (28).

The last time the Vols were held without a rushing score was Nov. 22, 2014—a 29-21 loss to Missouri.

Get the win and come out healthy. Best way to do that is come out aggressive and attack.

Completely ready for yet another pitifully played 4 quarters against an inferior opponent.

Why watch then? If you are so damn miserable why torture yourself? Why come on here and post BS negative crap all the time? Maybe UT football is not for you? Maybe you'd be better as a band waggoner?

Must be really said to be anywhere near you on a daily basis...
