JACKSONVILLE — Tennessee was simply dominant in the first half of the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, but that hasn’t translated to a big lead against the Hoosiers.
UT has a 6-3 lead and has held Indiana to a season-low in first-half points.
The Volunteers have made three trips in to the red zone, and despite making three trips inside the Indiana 20-yard line, Tennessee has just six points to show for its effort.
Kicker Brent Cimaglia has field goals of 32 and 23 yards respectively. Tennessee’s other trip deep into Hoosier territory ended when Indiana made a stop on fourth down.
Jarrett Garrantano had a late interception in the first half and that miscue led to a field goal by the Hoosiers’ Logan Justus on the final play of the first half.
Indiana will have a chance to take the lead after the break as the Hoosiers will get the ball to start the second half.
