Vols Open 2008 At UCLA On ESPN


John Brice of Volsquest.com reports this morning that Tennessee has changed its 2008 football schedule to play UCLA on ESPN during a Monday Night Football time slot on September 1.

The story says that ESPN was in negotiations with Tennessee and other schools to get a premier Labor Day prime-time game.

Volquest.com reports that the game will now be five days before Tennessee was scheduled to visit Los Angeles and 48 hours after it was to open Phil Fulmer's 16th full season against UAB.

Tennessee moved the UAB game to Sept. 13 in Knoxville and Sept. 6 will now be an open date.

UCLA moved the Bruins opening day game with Fresno State to Sept. 27.


UAB moved the home game with Alabama State scheduled for Sept. 13 to Sept. 20.
