The Virginia football team will open up its 2023 campaign by traveling to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers at Nissan Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 2. Tennessee is coming off a remarkable 2022 season in which it won 11 games, doing so for the first time since 2001. Any time a team is able to win that many games in a season, it is quite noteworthy, but doing so while playing in the SEC only makes the feat more impressive.
