In the first installment of the ten greatest Tennessee games of the past decade series, I’ll be revisiting the Vols’ 2016 Music City Bowl win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
That day in Nashville was a bitter-sweet end to a season that saw so much promise go down the drain. The Vols ended up in the Music City Bowl after squandering a golden opportunity to head to New Orleans to play in the Sugar Bowl. All Tennessee had to do was beat Vanderbilt. As we know, that didn’t happen as the Commodores came roaring back with 14 fourth quarter points to win.
