An outgoing senior, Tennessee linebacker Nick Reveiz, said earlier this week that today’s regular-season finale against Kentucky “will be a big part of where this senior class ends up” in the minds of the public.
And it no doubt will. Beat the Wildcats for a 26th straight November and the Volunteers will salvage their second straight bowl bid and fourth in the last five years.
Beat UK and UT will be on a four-game winning streak, which is likely to hammer home former Vols coach Johnny Majors’ belief that “they always remember what you do in November.”
But whatever happens today inside Neyland Stadium against Big Blue, this group of Big Orange seniors is never likely to be remembered with the affection afforded such past Vols as Peyton Manning, Al Wilson, Tee Martin, Will Overstreet or Peerless Price.
