Tennessee and UT-Chattanooga will collide in a noon showdown on Sept. 14.

The Southeastern Conference and ESPN revealed starting times on Thursday for the first three weeks of the 2019 college football season, which includes ESPN’s additional platforms of ESPN2, ESPNU and the SEC Network. The contest between the Volunteers and Mocs inside Neyland Stadium will be televised by the SEC Network.

Tennessee holds a 38-2-2 series lead over the Mocs, with UTC’s wins occurring in 1905 at Chattanooga’s Chamberlain Field and in 1958 at Neyland. The Vols rolled to a 45-10 victory in their most recent meeting in 2014.

The first three starting times of Tennessee’s season are now known. The Vols open Aug. 31 against Georgia State in a game that will be televised by ESPNU at 3:30 p.m., and their Sept. 7 matchup against visiting Brigham Young University will have an evening kick at 7 on ESPN.

Tennessee and BYU never have met before, but they will play again in 2023 in Provo, Utah, which will be the first trip to the Beehive State for the Vols.
