Overall
Nathanael: B+
The comeback in the fourth quarter will cover up a lot of the warts from this game, and that’s the only reason I don’t give it an “A.” Tennessee made a ton of mistakes, and they were fortunate they were able to overcome them all in the end.
But they did, and that’s what matters. Tennessee pulled out a nearly impossible win to finish off what feels like a nearly impossible season.
Ben: A
A bowl win is a bowl win. To win an eighth game after starting the season 1-4 because of losses to Georgia State and BYU is remarkable. It’s the cherry on top of an incredible coaching job by Jeremy Pruitt. The win over Indiana marks the Vols’ sixth consecutive win this season. What a wild, absurd, crazy ride the 2019 season was. The Vols took a weird route, but Pruitt’s second season on Rocky Top goes down in the history books as a successful one.
