When Tennessee and Oklahoma meet on Sep. 21 in a key SEC matchup, it will be a reunion for two head coaches with a history together. Josh Heupel, the current coach of the Vols, played for Oklahoma in the late 90s and early 2000s when current Sooners head coach Brent Venables was the team’s defensive coordinator. Heupel, a former Heisman Trophy finalist, praised Venables for his passion, focus, and preparation, stating that Venables had a huge impact on his career. With Tennessee ranked at No. 6 and Oklahoma at No. 15 in college football standings, the upcoming matchup between the two teams could have implications for the College Football Playoff.

College football fans are encouraged to tune in as two head coaches, who are old friends and rivals, face off in what is sure to be a blockbuster matchup with playoff implications.
