Tennessee has played two of its four home games this season under the lights, with its upcoming game against Kentucky scheduled for a 7:45 p.m. ET kick (SEC Network) this week.

The Vols are undefeated on their home turf in 2024 with wins over Chattanooga, Kent State, Florida and Alabama.

Tennessee and Mississippi State are meeting for just the second time in the last six years with the Vols beating the Bulldogs, 20-10 in Knoxville in 2019.

Tennessee holds a 29-16-1 edge in the series, which dates back to 1907 and is 75-20-3 in homecoming games all-time.

Mississippi State has struggle under first year head coach Jeff Lebby and are on a seven-game losing skid since opening its season with a win over Eastern Kentucky.

The Bulldogs, who are winless in league play, host UMass in a non-conference game this Saturday.
