After winning just three games in 2020, the Tennessee Volunteers (6-5, 3-4) are bowl-bound thanks to a 60-14 win over the South Alabama Jaguars (5-6, 2-5).
Hendon Hooker was magnificent again, throwing for 273-yards and two touchdowns, Velus Jones Jr. provided one of the most exciting kickoff returns in recent memory, and the Tennessee defense came up with several plays during the game, all which were major contributors in the big win.
This year will mark the program’s 54th bowl appearance, which is the fifth-most in NCAA history.
Tennessee won the toss but deferred, so South Alabama received the ball to start the game.
