5. 2015 Taxslayer Bowl
This was the win that got the hype train truly rolling for Butch Jones and the Vols. Tennessee capped off the 2014 season with a dominating 45-28 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Taxslayer Bowl, and the Butch Jones tenure has never been the same since.
Tennessee fought tooth and claw to get bowl eligible in 2014, and they were rewarded with a berth in the Taxslayer Bowl to face Iowa.
What happened next can only be described as a dismantling.
The Vols blew past Iowa and launched themselves into an offseason of dark horse SEC East title talk. This was the win that got Tennessee’s foot back in the door nationally, and it was one of the more important victories for the Vols under Jones.
