This week’s storylines
FIRST ROAD TRIP
Texas heads on the road for the first time in 2026. We’re not looking for a repeat of last year’s road struggles.
ROCKY TOP
Neyland stadium will be rocking as the Vols welcome the Horns for the first time in SEC play. Texas has never played in Knoxville.
TENNESSEE FOR REAL?
The Vols have looked good but against inferior competition. We’re about to find out if Josh Heupel’s group has what it takes to challenge the SEC’s best.
Keys to the game
FIND THE OFFENSE
Get Arch comfortable, establish the run, and convert scoring chances.
01
CONTROL THE TEMPO
Don’t let Heupel’s run game and Faizon Brandon get going.
02
SILENCE NEYLAND
Start fast, protect the football, and don’t let the crowd dictate.
03
Player to watch
ARCH MANNING | QB #16
We will need our QB1 at his best, which hasn’t been the case for the majority of his road starts. Let’s make sure this time is different.
