How to watch WCU vs. Tennessee: Live stream, TV information

After losing a tough game against Oklahoma, Tennessee looks to get back on track with a game against FCS Western Carolina.

Running back Jalen Hurd had a strong game against the Sooners, rushing for 109 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries, but quarterback Josh Dobbs struggled. Dobbs completed just 13 of his 31 pass attempts for 125 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

The Catamounts blew out Division-II Mars Hill in their season opener and lost to SOCON foe The Citadel last week.
