Tennessee, No. 5 Texas A&M Set For Dec. 19 Noon ET Kickoff

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee’s Dec. 19 regular season finale against No. 5 Texas A&M is set for a noon ET kickoff in Neyland Stadium, the Southeastern Conference announced on Thursday.

The SEC has scheduled four games on Dec. 19 that were postponed during the 2020 season due to the impact of COVID and involve teams that did not otherwise qualify for participation in the SEC Football Championship. 
 
The television networks that will carry games of Dec. 19 will be announced after games of Dec. 12. The four rescheduled games will be televised by either ESPN, the SEC Network or the SEC Network Alternate channel.

Forum discussion: A&M set for noon kickoff

Tennessee-Texas A&M was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 and later postponed. The two teams will meet for just the fourth time and the first time in Knoxville. UT leads the series, 2-1, and it will be the first matchup between the two since the Aggies won in 2016 in College Station.

It will be the fourth contest for the Vols this season involving a top-five ranked team in the respective polls. UT has previously faced No. 1 Alabama, then-No. 3 Georgia and No. 5/6 Florida.
