Sat Nov 23 13:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Tennessee Vols Look to Rebound Against UTEP Before Crucial Season Finale
**Knoxville, TN** – After a tough 31-17 loss to Georgia last week that dimmed their SEC title and College Football Playoff hopes, the Tennessee Volunteers (8-2, 5-2) face UTEP (2-8) Saturday at Neyland Stadium in a non-conference matchup. The game, airing on ESPN+ and SEC Network+, kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
While the Vols’ playoff aspirations hinge on winning their remaining games, Saturday’s contest against a struggling UTEP team presents an opportunity to regain momentum before a pivotal final SEC game against Vanderbilt. Knox News reporter Mike Wilson predicts a comfortable 43-10 victory for Tennessee. The Miners, under first-year coach Scotty Walden, have had a challenging season, though they did manage an overtime win over Kennesaw State earlier this month. For Tennessee, a decisive win would keep their playoff hopes alive, depending on results from other games. Lowell Galindo and Fozzy Whittaker will provide commentary for the broadcast, with Marilyn Payne reporting from the sidelines.
