Texas Longhorns face Tennessee Volunteers in top-ranked SEC matchup FAST-MOVING

The No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns are set to face the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers in a highly anticipated SEC matchup at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, September 26. Both teams enter the contest with undefeated 3-0 records. Texas, led by quarterback Arch Manning, seeks to maintain its top ranking as it begins its conference schedule. Tennessee relies on a strong ground game and a home-field advantage to challenge the Longhorns.
