Know the Foe: Scouting the Volunteers

The Tennessee Volunteers come into the weekend with a 29-4 overall record and a 9-3 record in SEC play.

They hosted Texas A&M last weekend no hitting and run ruling the Aggies in game one but dropped both games of a doubleheader on Saturday to lose the series.

It was their first series loss of the season after opening SEC play with series wins over Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina.

The defending national champions come to Oxford for the first time since March of 2022 when they swept the series.

The Rebels have not won a series against the Volunteers since 2018, losing the last three matchups.

Ole Miss leads the all-time series against Tennessee, holding a 51-46-1 record over the Volunteers.
