There’s an interesting history with Tennessee football and the Gator Bowl. From Peyton Manning playing in Gainesville to beating Bear Bryant to the switch of a coach from the Vols to their opponent, Rocky Top has been part of lots of twists in this Florida bowl game.
Through it all, they have won four and lost two of them. So the history is more good than bad as well, and maybe that bodes well for them getting set to play in their seventh Gator Bowl. After all, finishing this season 8-5 given the way they started would be another notable storyline.
