2013 Tennessee Volunteers football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2013 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Volunteers played their home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee and competes in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The team was coached by Butch Jones, who was in his inaugural season with UT. Jones was hired on December 7, 2012, to replace Derek Dooley who was fired on November 18, 2012, after an 41–18 loss to Vanderbilt.[1][2] On August 31, 2013, Tennessee earned its 800th victory in program history against Austin Peay and became only the eighth school in the nation to reach that plateau after Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Alabama.[3]
