No. 21 Tennessee (8-4) is set to take on No. 17 Iowa (10-3) in the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day in Orlando. It’s the Volunteers’ first appearance in the game since the 2001 season, where they crushed Michigan to the tune of 45-10.
It’s the biggest clash of styles that you can possibly draw up. Iowa’s slow, often putrid offense, going up against Tennessee’s lightning-fast spread attack. You can say what you want about the Hawkeyes, but they just keep finding ways to win 8-10 games per year. But does that formula translate to a win against Tennessee?
