THE VANDERBILT GAME

¢ Saturday’s game is the 107th all-time meeting between Tennessee and Vanderbilt and the 49th in Knoxville. The 106 meetings dating to 1892 vs. the Commodores are the second-most for any UT opponent (UT has played Kentucky 108 times since 1893). ¢ Tennessee is 73-28-5 all-time against Vanderbilt, including a 37-10-1 record at Neyland Stadium and a 36-18-4 mark in Nashville. ¢ Tennessee has won 28 of the last 30 meetings against Vanderbilt since 1983, 34 of the last 37 since 1976, and six of the last seven since 2006. UT has won 17 of the last 18 games in Knoxville over Vanderbilt since 1977. ¢ UT is averaging 29.0 points per game in its last 15 meetings vs. Vanderbilt since 1998 (UT 13-2 since then).

SENIOR DAY IN SMOKEY GRAY

¢ 28 players will participate in Senior Day festivities: Joseph Ayres, Austin Bolen, Brent Brewer, Alex Bullard, J.R. Carr, Tyler Coombes, Raiques Crump, Tyler Drummer, Zach Fulton, Gregory Grieco, Daniel Hood, Ja’Wuan James, Reggie Juin, Greg King, Daniel McCullers, Corey Miller, Byron Moore, Rajion Neal, Tyler Page, Michael Palardy, Brett Parisi, John Propst, Dontavis Sapp, Jacques Smith, James Stone, Dakota Summers, Marlon Walls, and Dylan West. ¢ Tennessee is 27-1 on Senior Day since 1985. ¢ The Vols will wear Smokey Gray uniforms on Senior Day after a vote among the team’s seniors.

MR. CONSISTENCY

¢ By making his 48th career start on Saturday vs. Vanderbilt, senior offensive lineman Ja’Wuan James will tie Jeff Smith (1992-95) for the Tennessee record for most career starts by an offensive lineman. ¢ James has started every game at right tackle since the season opener his freshman year in 2010. If the Vols appear in a bowl game this season and James plays against both Kentucky and in a bowl game, he would also tie Dallas Thomas (2009-12) for the most career games played by an offensive lineman with 50.  Most Career Starts, Tennessee Offensive Lineman Player Jeff Smith (1992-95) JA’WUAN JAMES (2010-13) Michael Munoz (2001-04)
