Nope,its true.
I can find nothing to corroborate that. We didn't field a team in 1917.

The University of Tennessee Athletic Council, chaired by Professor Nathan Dougherty, officially suspended varsity football during the World War I years of 1917 and 1918 because the majority of the players were called into military service. In addition, Coach John Bender was enlisted as an instructor at Camp John Sevier in Greenville, South Carolina
During this period without varsity football, two unofficial teams were formed from Army recruits and students. One team represented a training unit called the Fighting Mechanics and another the Student Army Training Corps (SATC).
