KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — No. 15 Tennessee will host the sixth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and Saturday for the earliest matchup between the two schools since 1995. "Checker Neyland" will return once again to cover the stands in the iconic checkboard pattern, so how have the Volunteers fared during the color-coordinated games in previous seasons?
Saturday will mark the ninth "Checker Neyland" game since the first edition back in 2014. Tennessee is seeking their first against Georgia since 2016. With the team's record in "Checker Neyland" games sitting at 4-4, it would also put the Vols above .500 all-time during the tradition.
