Tennessee (10-2, 6-2 SEC) will play Clemson (11-2, 8-0 ACC) in the Capital One Orange Bowl on Dec. 30.
Tennessee and Clemson last played Jan. 2, 2004 in the Peach Bowl. Clemson defeated the Vols, 27-14.
Clemson scored a touchdown on a fumblerooski in the second quarter.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney served as a wide receivers coach for the Tigers in the 2004 Peach Bowl. Ahead of playing Tennessee in the 2022 Orange Bowl, Swinney reflected on the fumblerooski.
“That was Brad Scott there who was our offensive coordinator,” Swinney said of the fumblerooski. “I think it was Kyle Browning, No. 28, that we handed that ball to. Everybody kind of comes out, puts it under his legs, goes out the backdoor. That was a great play in that game.
“I know we hit the trap a couple times with Chad Jasmin, heck of a game, Derrick Hamilton, Kevin Youngblood. The head coach at Virginia, Tony Elliott, was playing in this game. There was a lot of great moments for sure.”
