Series History: Indiana
Vols lead series, 1-0
Tennessee and Indiana have met just once, a 27-22 Vols win in the 1988 Peach Bowl. Quarterback Jeff Francis was 20-of-26 passing for 225 yards and two touchdowns while running back Reggie Cobb carried the ball 21 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns to earn MVP honors.

About Indiana
The Hoosiers went 8-4 this season with a 5-4 record in the Big Ten. It was the programs first eight-win season since 1993. Indiana is led by third-year head coach Tom Allen, who was promoted from his defensive coordinator position after the 2016 season.

Offensively, IU is led by quarterback Peyton Ramsey, who has thrown for 2,227 yards and 13 touchdowns in 10 games this season. Whop Philyor is Ramsey's top target with 69 receptions for 1,001 yards and five touchdowns. Stevie Scott III was the Hoosiers' top rusher with 845 yards and 10 touchdowns on 178 carries.

Defensively, linebacker Micah McFadden led the team with 56 tackles and nine tackles for loss. Defensive lineman Allen Stallings IV leads the Hoosiers with five sacks.

Tennessee in the Gator Bowl
Thursday will mark Tennessee's seventh time playing in the Gator Bowl. The Vols are 4-2 in their previous six appearances with wins over Texas A&M (1957), Syracuse (1966), Virginia Tech (1994) and Iowa (2015).

In UT's most recent Gator Bowl appearance against Iowa, the Vols raced out to a 28-0 lead before going on to win 45-28 over the Hawkeyes. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs was named MVP after passing for 129 yards, rushing for 76 yards and accounting for three touchdowns.

A win on Thursday would be Tennessee's fourth consecutive bowl victory and third straight in the Gator Bowl.

I applaud Pruitt for turning the season around.

He had to deal with a lot of BS from Butch's players.

That’s not how it usually work. They tend to move the next game to different channel till 1st game concludes. It would be better if what you said happened

Now THAT was a really stupid decision

 

[bamagrad75]

Ever notice the stupidity of this Nissan ad where they are looking at everyone else looking at their phones. Meanwhile, THEY aren't looking at the road either?

Brilliant advertising, Nissan
