Tennessee Defeated Ohio State in the 1996 Citrus Bowl and 19 Volunteers Wore Soccer Cleats

Next Saturday will be the second time in the rich history of Ohio State and Tennessee that the two schools have met. The first came under familiar circumstances.

One of the most disappointing Michigan losses in Buckeye history capped the regular season for coach John Cooper's squad in 1995. An 11-0 group charged by Heisman Trophy-winning running back Eddie George, Biletnikoff Award-winning wide receiver Terry Glenn and Lombardi Award-winning left tackle Orlando Pace rolled into Michigan and were crushed 31-23 under Tim Biakabutuka's 313 rushing yards.

The loss denied Ohio State a Rose Bowl berth and a shot at a national championship.
