The way this game is being predicted, you would think the Tennessee Vols were the Top 15 10-2 team going up against an unranked opponent. After all, services have given them the best shot of any team to win their bowl game, they are favored by more than a touchdown, and there’s a lot of relaxation going on.
But these Northwestern Wildcats cannot be taken lightly.
This is a football team that knocked off the Stanford Cardinal in the opening game of the season, a game that kept the eventual Pac-12 champions out of the College Football Playoff.
