Tennessee starts 2016 right, blows out Northwestern in the Outback Bowl

Sorry, Coconut Shrimp fans. It’s free Bloomin’ Onions for everybody on Saturday thanks to Tennessee’s 45-6 win over Northwestern in Friday’s Outback Bowl. It was the perfect way to start the new year for the Volunteers.

What this win means for Tennessee: What is it about Tennessee and bowl games under Butch Jones? The Vols dominated Iowa in last year’s TaxSlayer Bowl, and it was more of the same this year in the Outback Bowl. Fans are hoping for the same result next year in a New Year’s Six bowl or even the College Football Playoff.
