After a month off, Tennessee is in Nashville and ready to take on the Purdue Boilermakers in the Music City Bowl. It was a successful first season in Knoxville for Josh Heupel, who took a gutted roster and ended up going 7-5. He’s looking to cap off year one with another win and move into the offseason with some real momentum.
Purdue went 8-4 this season, putting together a couple of really nice top five wins (at the time) over Iowa and Michigan State. However, the Boilermakers won’t be at full strength thanks to a couple of key opt outs.
