Up Next: Tennessee Orange & White Game, Saturday, 2:30 p.m. ET

A large crowd is expected with Josh Heupel took Tennessee to an 11-2 record last season. The Vols revitalized the football program by starting the season 8-0, climbing all the way to No. 1 in the first College Football Playoff Top 25.

Tennessee won 10 games in the regular season for the first time sine 2003 and won 11 games for the first time since 2001, ending the season with the 31-14 win over Clemson in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The Vols finished at No. 6 in the final Associated Press Top 25.

At home, Tennessee was a perfect 8-0 including wins over Florida and Alabama. Neyland Stadium added the party deck in the north end zone upper deck, a new video board above the party deck, and a new lower east side club and club seating a year ago, leaving the stadium unable for a spring game. Instead, the Vols hosted a intrasquad scrimmage on a practice field.
