Gameday has arrived — Tennessee and Purdue are set to meet in Nashville this afternoon in the Music City Bowl. Josh Heupel is looking to cap off a successful year one with his eighth win of the 2021 season. It’s a big spot for Heupel, who is looking to capitalize on a mid-state appearance to sustain momentum heading into 2022.
Purdue is coming off of a great 8-4 season that saw the Boilermakers pick up a couple of top five wins. However, they’ve been hit hard by opt-outs, as their two best players — George Karlaftis and David Bell — chose to go ahead and begin preparations for the NFL Draft.
