ESPN's College GameDay is set to air from the University of Tennessee on Saturday, Sept. 26, as the Volunteers prepare to face Texas. The pregame show will originate from Ayres Hall on campus, marking the 13th time GameDay has visited Knoxville and the fourth under head coach Josh Heupel.
The matchup has generated significant off-field excitement, with GameDay on site and President Donald Trump expected to be in attendance at Neyland Stadium. Adding to the intrigue is a family storyline: Texas quarterback Arch Manning will face the Volunteers, the team his uncle Peyton Manning famously led. Peyton Manning is scheduled to join Pat McAfee for the show's weekly kicking contest.
Heupel is also expected to appear on the broadcast at some point during the pregame festivities.
