Some SEC schools like to kick off the season with a real challenge like Southeastern Utah School for the Blind. The Vols have never been a team afraid of scheduling tough out of conference opponents. Nebraska, UCLA and NC State are on future Tennessee schedules. Miami was on the schedule in 2002 and 2003. The Vols faced Notre Dame in 2004 and 2005. However, neither were the first games of the season. Tennessee suits up against ninth ranked Cal on Saturday. The Bears may have looked like a cupcake team when it was scheduled 10 years ago, but not anymore. This game could either help the Vol Nation forget last season.... or Phil Fulmer starts looking for a good place to jump from Neyland Stadium.
