Tennessee vs. Ball State: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Thursday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Tennessee vs. Ball State football game
The Tennessee Volunteers and the Ball State Cardinals will face off at 7 p.m. ET Sept. 1 at Neyland Stadium to kick off their 2022 seasons. Tennessee was on the positive side of .500 (7-6) last season and is hoping to kick off an even more successful year. Meanwhile, Ball State struggled last year, ending up 6-7.
A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Volunteers snagged 13 interceptions last season, the 33rd most (top 13%) in the nation. But the Cardinals were even better: they collected 15 interceptions, good for 14th in the the nation. We'll see if that edge gives Ball State a route to victory.
Tennessee has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. It would take nothing short of a miracle for Ball State to pull off a victory, but maybe they can at least keep Tennessee from covering the spread.
