The Tennessee Volunteers began play in the 2013 CFBHC Season. The team began initially coachless, with SS Larry Reeves taking on the position of interim coach. They won their first game, then went through an extremely rough patch. After losing game after game, a change had to be made. In week 7, HaiThere took over the team. With a real coach at the forefront, the Volunteers turned their season around winning 5 straight to finish the season and achieving a bowl bid.

Robert Aikman was the starting QB for the entire season, and played at a high level. Don Anderson and Larry Holleyman traded off starts at the runningback position. Vaughn Gash, Eric Minter, and Bernard Taylor brought together a solid receiving group. Defensively, the team was led in tackles by Sedrick Madison (59). Madison also led the team with 2 interceptions. Tommy Wietecha led the team with 5 sacks.
