The Vols have won five consecutive and 17 of their last 19 season openers since 1995. UT is 87-24-6 (.769) in season openers dating back to 1891.

UT is 25-3-2 (.867) in its last 30 season openers.
Tennessee is 93-18-5 (.823) in home openers, with 19 consecutive wins in home openers since 1995 dating to a 27-7 win over East Carolina (9/2/1995).

Aug. 31 represents the third consecutive August opener for the Vols. It also marks the first time in history that UT has began its campaign on the same date for three consecutive seasons.

The Vols are 7-0-1 all-time in August and 4-0 all-time on Aug. 31. The Vols have won six consecutive games in August.

Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between Tennessee and Utah State. UT is 15-1 all-time vs. current Mountain West schools, with the last game vs. a MWC school resulting in the only loss (13-7 to Wyoming in `08).

The Vols have opened a season vs. a current MWC school seven times and are 7-0 in those meetings (`86 vs. New Mexico; `89 vs. Colorado State; `96 and `04 vs. UNLV; `99 and `02 vs. Wyoming; and `03 vs. Fresno State).

The season opener vs. Utah State marks the seventh game on Sunday for Tennessee. It is the first since a 42-17 win over UNLV to open the 2004 season.

The Vols are 3-2-1 all-time on Sundays.

The Vols played two Sunday matchups in the Kickoff Classic, including win over Wisconsin in 1981 (23-21) and Iowa in 1987 (23-22), both in East Rutherford, N.J. UT also played Colorado to a 31-31 tie on Sunday in the 1990 Pigskin Classic in Anaheim.

Tennessee lost to Nebraska on Sunday on 1/2/2000 in the Fiesta Bowl and also lost in 1905 to Grant (5-0), now known as Chattanooga, also on Sunday.
