Fowler and Herbstreit are generally considered the company's "A team", as they handle the biggest game of the weekend. As that doesn't always coincide with where College Gameday is being held, of which Herbstreit is an analyst, he will have to fly around the country to get to where he's calling the night game. As College Gameday is being held in Boulder, CO for Colorado-Colorado State, that will be the case again on Saturday.

Herbstreit drew some odd looks last year from both Tennessee and college football fans alike when he predicted Vanderbilt to topple the Vols in the regular season finale. Tennessee won 56-0.

With that being said, Fowler and the Vols unquestionably have a bit of a history together. After Charles Woodson claimed the Heisman Trophy over Peyton Manning, Fowler made reference to a "trailer park frenzy" regarding Tennessee fans' outrage over the slight. Fowler even later admitted the backlash was overwhelming and kept ESPN from coming to Knoxville for quite a while.

Regardless, those are the voices that will be calling the action that Vol fans will be seeing on Saturday night. That is, unless the TV mute button is activated, and the Vol Radio Network is turned on.
