Tennessee smokes Clemson to win the Orange Bowl, 31-14

On Friday night in Miami, Tennessee played in its biggest bowl game in over 20 years. The No. 6 Volunteers took on the ACC Champion Clemson Tigers — without several key players. No Hendon Hooker, Cedric Tillman, Jalin Hyatt or Jeremy Banks created quite the challenge for Josh Heupel, playing against a stout Clemson defense.

However, Tennessee came out ready to play.

Clemson appeared ready to take the early lead in this one, but Dabo Swinney opted for a fake field goal instead. Tennessee stuffed the rushing attempt to keep us at a 0-0 game.
