No. 23 Tennessee (8-4, 4-4 SEC) will play No. 17 Iowa (10-3, 7-2 Big Ten) in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2024.
Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
“We certainly haven’t seen them this year, but I know the work that Josh (Heupel) has done, obviously, at Tennessee and Central (Florida) before that, just outstanding,” Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said when the bowl game matchup was announced. “We have coincidentally, we saw it on Tennessee the last two years against Kentucky. We played Kentucky two straight years. We do have some familiarity, but certainly weren’t looking at them from a game planning standpoint. Nice thing about playing on January 1 is we’ll have plenty of time to look at them.”
Kickoff between the Vols and Hawkeyes is slated for 1 p.m. EST. ABC will televise the matchup at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
