Tennessee's last game against a Big Ten team was its 45-6 win over Northwestern in last year's Outback Bowl.

Several of UT's games against current Big Ten teams have been in bowl games. The Vols are 11-10 against current members of the league in bowl games.

The Vols are making their 52nd bowl appearance all-time and tied with Georgia for the fourth-most among all FBS programs. Tennessee owns a 27-24 all-time record in bowl games and has won two in a row.

With a win, the Vols would claim three straight bowl victories for the first time since the 1994-96 seasons.

Nebraska is making its 53rd bowl appearance all-time. The Cornhuskers are tied with Texas for the second-most bowl game appearances and trail only Alabama (63).

Over his last four games, Dobbs has completed 69-of-86 passes (86 percent) for 969 yards with 11 touchdowns and one interception. He is 22-12 as UT's starting quarterback. With a win, Dobbs, who earned Second Team All-SEC accolades from both the coaches and the AP, would tie Condredge Holloway (1972-74) for the fifth-most wins by a UT quarterback.

Barnett earned consensus All-America honors with All-America recognition from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Associated Press, Sporting News, the Football Writers Association of America and the American Football Coaches Association. He was also named a First Team All-SEC selection by the coaches and the AP. Barnett, who has 12.0 sacks on the year, is the only player in SEC football history to record three seasons with 10 or more sacks.

I keep talking all this crap like "Part of me thinks if we lose that's not a bad thing, because it might start the countdown for a new coach!"

In reality, I'm just being whiny and disgruntled. I'll be stroke-level nervous hoping for a Vols victory like always around kickoff.

Let's go Vols! Last game of the year, I hope I get out of surgery in time to watch it.

Edit: Just got out of post op, looking like I will be able to get home in time to watch the Vols!

Im not a CBJ fan, but dont really care who the coach is as long as it's not Art Briles, but there is nothing good that comes from losing the bowl game.

See you all there! Getting ready now and thank you for Uber!

There's also a lot of Husker red roaming around. Saw a ton on Broadway last night when going to the Preds game.
