Northwestern found out Sunday that it will be facing Tennessee in the Outback Bowl, and like clockwork, Vols fans were quick to tell Northwestern fans and players that they are bad.

Here's what I knew about Tennessee heading into this game:
- In all the games I watched them play — all losses, to Alabama, Florida, Arkansas and Oklahoma — they seemed to have some nice players. Josh Dobbs is fine. So is Jalen Hurd.
- Ever since a 13-7 loss to Wyoming in 2008 — a game it also lost — Tennessee has either been bad or mediocre, and definitely irrelevant.
