Tennessee Football’s Orange & White Game on Saturday at Neyland Stadium will be a 2 p.m. Eastern Time start. The annual spring game is not televised this year, but can live updates can be followed on The General’s Quarters and play-by-play can be heard on The Vol Network.

The Vol Walk is scheduled for 11:50 a.m. ET on Phillip Fulmer Way and free parking is available on the Ag Campus, Stephenson Drive, Terrace Ave Garage, White Ave Garage and 11th Street Garage.

Capacity at the stadium will be reduced to around 45,000 due to ongoing renovations.

Nico Iamaleava didn’t show up for practice Friday morning

White won 21-14 against Orange a year ago, when Neyland Stadium renovations limited the fan capacity to 10,000.

Nico Iamaleava threw for 96 yards and a touchdown and Mike Matthews and Chris Brazzell caught touchdown passes in the second half. The Matthews touchdown went for 63 yards on a pass from Gaston Moore and Brazzell’s was 71 from freshman Jake Merklinger.

Iamaleava did not practice with the Vols on Friday and his status is unclear moving forward after it was reported that he has been in contract negotiations.
