One of the big advantages for Tennessee football in its attempt to have a turnaround for 2019 is the Vols’ hospitable schedule. They play eight games at home, including all four of their non-conference games. And none of them are against serious contenders.
Playing every non-conference regular season game at home doesn’t happen often for the Vols. Usually, they’ll have one game either on the road or at a neutral site. Sometimes, it’s basically a home game, like when they faced the Wyoming Cowboys in Nashville in 2002, the Bowling Green Falcons in Nashville in 2015, or the Memphis Tigers on the road at any time.
