Tennessee football is set to kick off its SEC schedule with an away game against Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman. The Volunteers have performed strongly in their three nonconference games, including a dominant 51-10 victory over NC State. However, Saturday marks the start of SEC competition, and it will be a challenging road game for Tennessee.
Oklahoma enters the matchup with a 3-0 record but has shown inconsistency during the early part of the season, including a mixed performance in last week’s win against Tulane.

The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC, featuring Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit providing commentary from Memorial Stadium, with Holly Rowe reporting from the sidelines. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 21.
In terms of predictions, Knox News reporter Mike Wilson anticipates a Tennessee victory with a score of 47-24. Although the Vols are expected to concede a touchdown for the first time this season, Wilson believes it will not significantly impact the outcome. Head coach Josh Heupel’s return to Oklahoma could lead to an emotional win for Tennessee, further solidifying their strong start to the season.
Current betting odds reflect Tennessee as a 7-point favorite with an over/under of 57.5 points. The money line stands at Tennessee -275 and Oklahoma +210.
Tennessee’s upcoming schedule includes several key matchups after the Oklahoma game, including meetings with Arkansas and Florida, while Oklahoma will face Texas in a highly anticipated game later in the season. Both teams seek to maintain their unbeaten records as they continue their campaigns.
