Earlier today, the Nashville Sports Council announced that the Virginia Cavaliers and Tennessee Volunteers will face each other in their respective season openers of the 2023 football season. Set for September second, the game will be played in Nashville in the Tennessee Titans’ Nissan Stadium.
This will be the fifth matchup between these two programs as Tennessee has won three of the previous four contests including a one point win in the 1991 Sugar Bowl. UVA’s lone series win came in a 16-13 victory in 1980 while the Vols won lopsided contests in 1940 and all the way back in 1927.
