Tennessee Volunteers face Georgia Tech in first road test of season

The No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers are set to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on September 12, 2026. This matchup serves as Tennessee’s first road test and its first game against a Power 4 opponent this season.

Tennessee enters the game following a 56-9 victory over Furman, highlighted by a standout performance from freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon, who earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors. Head coach Josh Heupel emphasized the importance of communication and decisive play as the team transitions to a more hostile road environment.

Georgia Tech seeks to bounce back from a narrow 14-13 loss to Colorado. The Volunteers are currently favored by 12.5 points in betting markets. In a notable uniform change, Tennessee has announced they will wear their all-white “stormtrooper” Adidas road uniforms for the contest.
