UT's 2010 schedule includes home game against Oregon

Tennessee released its 2010 football schedule Friday, highlighted by the first meeting with Oregon in Neyland Stadium.

UT’s game against the Ducks begins a home-and-home series that concludes with a 2013 visit to Eugene. In addition, Tennessee’s 2010 contest with Oregon marks five consecutive years of Pac-10 opponents in the non-conference portion of the schedule (California 2006-07, UCLA 2008-09).

The Vols open the 2010 season with four straight home games, beginning Sept. 4. UT was scheduled to open the season against Akron but the game has been moved to a later season and a new opponent is being sought. Contests against Oregon (Sept. 11), Florida (Sept. 18) and UAB (Sept. 25) follow the next three weeks.

The remaining home schedule features Alabama (Oct. 23), Mississippi (Nov. 13) and Kentucky (Nov. 27).

LSU rotates back onto the Vols’ SEC schedule that season. UT faces the Tigers in Baton Rouge on Oct. 2 for Tennessee’s first road game of the season. Other road games are at Georgia (Oct. 9), South Carolina (Oct. 30), Memphis (Nov. 6) and Vanderbilt (Nov. 20).

The 2010 SEC championship game takes place Dec. 4 in Atlanta.
