The 19th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers should be well-rested coming off an open date. They need edit considering they start a critical three-game stretch Saturday, Oct. 14, at home against Texas A&M. The game will be live streamed on Paramount+ (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

The Vols then hit the road for a two-game road swing at No. 11 Alabama and then No. 24 Kentucky. The Aggies A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC) come in looking to bounce back from a disappointing 26-20 loss to Alabama.

The home fans should have Tennessee focused on Texas A&M’s second visit to Neyland Stadium. This will be the seventh time Vols’ fans have turned the stands into an orange and white checkerboard with another sellout crowd on hand.

The Aggies bring the nation’s 10th-ranked defense yielding a mere 268.8 yards a game while also leading the nation in tackles for loss (9.5 per game). They have not allowed an opponent to run for more than 100 yards and passing in a game this season.

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher is impressed with what the Vols (4-1, 1-1) do offensively, especially running the ball with Jaylen Wright, Jabari Small and Dylan Sampson.

They are why Tennessee ranks seventh nationally averaging 231.2 yards rushing a game. Wright ran for 123 yards in the Vols’ 41-20 win over South Carolina before their break.

The Aggies seemingly haven’t missed a beat since losing quarterback Conner Weigman for the season with a foot injury against Auburn. Lefty Max Johnson, the son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, has made a seamless transition after playing in just four games last season after two seasons at LSU.
