Checker Neyland game Coming-Up (10/12/24)

Tennessee football is renewing its Checker Neyland tradition this season when it hosts Florida at Neyland Stadium October 12^th.

This marks the fourth straight season that Tennessee has done a Checker Neyland game with the Vols checkering the stadium every season under head coach Josh Heupel.

Tennessee’s matchup against Florida will be the eighth ever Checker Neyland game.

Tennessee is 3-4 all-time in Checker Neyland games but has won two of the three games during Heupel’s tenure as head coach including its win over Texas A&M last season.

The rivalry matchup between Tennessee and Florida is later than it normally is during the first season of the 16-team SEC without divisions.

It’s a critical game for Tennessee football’s College Football Playoff hopes as they need to take care of business against a good Florida team.
