Under Coach Josh Heupel, the Vols have built serious momentum. With rising stars returning and fans rallying behind the team, there’s a real shot to turn these two games into defining moments. The matchup with Georgia, especially, represents more than just a game—it’s a chance to shake up the SEC standings.
With the kickoff times now official, fans can fully dive into the countdown. Whether you’re tailgating, repping your orange and white, or just watching from home, Tennessee football in 2025 is ready to deliver fireworks.
