Cincinnati Vs. Tennessee Game Time, TV Schedule, Spread And More

Cincinnati and Tennessee try to learn more about their teams in a showdown in Neyland Stadium on Saturday.

Two teams looking to build on their new coach's first seasons and coming off blowout wins over teams from the lower subdivision meet in Neyland Stadium when the Cincinnati Bearcats visit the Tennessee Volunteers. Cincy spent last week routing Austin Peay 72-10, while the Vols blew out Montana 42-16. Now they have to play teams that actually have a shot at competing with each other -- something that will give fans and observers a better gauge of where the teams stand.

Tennessee, in its second year under head coach Derek Dooley, hopes Tyler Bray will key the Vols offense and help improve on last year's 6-7 mark. Butch Jones had a rougher go of his first year at Cincinnati, going 4-8 in his inaugural year with the Bearcats. Zach Collaros leads the Bearcats offense after passing for about 282 yards a game last year.

Game Date/Time: Saturday, September 10, 3:30 pm ET

Location: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee

TV: ESPN2

Spread: Tennessee -6
