The No. 1 Texas Longhorns and No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers enter this SEC matchup unbeaten at 3-0. The Longhorns, led by quarterback Arch Manning, started the college football season with wins against Texas State, Ohio State, and UTSA. The Volunteers, also called the Vols, have beaten Furman, Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State so far in the season. Texas leads the all-time series 2-1, but the schools have met only three times, all in bowl games. This Saturday marks their first regular-season meeting in a series that dates back to 1951.

The game at Neyland Stadium is sold out and expected to draw plenty of attention. No. 1 Texas is making its first visit to the Knoxville stadium, while No. 14 Tennessee opens SEC play at home. Texas is currently favored by around 4 to 5.5 points, depending on the sportsbook, but overall prediction models are split. Some give Texas the edge while others project a narrow Tennessee win, reflecting how closely matched this highly anticipated game could be.
