Tennessee has a love-hate relationship with bowl games. Ever since they won the national championship in 1998, the Vols have struggled in many of them, stumbling to a 4-7 record in them while missing the postseason altogether in five of them.
In spite of the history of great bowl wins the Vols have enjoyed en route to their 26-24 bowl games as they get set for their 51st in the Outback Bowl against the Northwestern Wildcats, it hasn’t always been roses…literally.
No, seriously, the Vols have never won a game in the Rose Bowl. They are 0-2.
