Texas A&M vs. Tennessee kickoff time, TV information announced

The kickoff time and TV information for the Oct. 14 game between Texas A&M and No. 22 Tennessee was announced Monday. The Aggies will face the Volunteers at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.

A&M has played Tennessee only once in Neyland Stadium since joining the SEC, but it came during the COVID-restricted 2020 season. The Aggies finished their regular season with a 34-13 victory over the Volunteers in that December game.

Under second-year coach Josh Heupel, Tennessee has found immediate success. The Volunteers finished 11-2 last season and won the Orange Bowl 31-14 fashion over Clemson. They also are 4-1 to start this season.

Tennessee lost on the road against Florida, 29-16, on Sept. 16. But the Volunteers have since bounced back with home victories over UTSA (45-14) and South Carolina (41-20). They are off this week.

A&M (4-1, 2-0 SEC) will return home to play No. 11 Alabama (4-1, 2-0) in Kyle Field at 2:30 p.m. Saturday (TV: CBS). The Crimson Tide are 2.5-point betting favorites as of Monday morning, per BetOnline.

Before facing the Crimson Tide, the Aggies will hold their weekly press conference Monday. A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher and four of his players – defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, tight end Max Wright and wide receiver Ainias Smith – will answer questions from reporters, beginning at approximately 11:30 a.m.
