Golden Eagle football to face Tennessee on Sept. 18

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – In 2016 – the last time the Tennessee Tech football team saw the orange and white checkerboards of Neyland Stadium — it had been 65 years since the Golden Eagles had made a journey up the road to take on the University of Tennessee.

The return trip this time isn’t taking nearly as long.

As the Tennessee Tech football team works to prepare for the 2020-21 spring season, the Golden Eagles found out on Wednesday they would make a return to Neyland Stadium in the fall of 2021, taking on the Tennessee Volunteers on September 18.
