@knoxnews: The Smokey statue in front of Gate 21 at Neyland Stadium was damaged and eventually fully covered up during Tennessee football's road game against Arkansas on Oct. 10. ⠀ A photo began to circulate on social media early in the afternoon before kickoff showing the Smokey statue's head broken off its body and laying on the sidewalk. It appeared to be raining in the photo. ⠀ To read more, click the link below: ⠀ https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2026/10/10/tennessee-football-smokey-statue-damaged-neyland-stadium/92196826007/ ⠀ #Tennessee #Knoxville #Tennesseefootball
