Tennessee graduate transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar needs a new final memory regarding his time with the Volunteers.
A 21-point home loss to Vanderbilt won’t suffice.
In an era when the 12-team College Football Playoff has further pushed bowl games to irrelevance, Aguilar appreciates having one final opportunity in orange. A week after Aguilar ended Tennessee’s 10-game slide against Florida in the Swamp, the Vols were outscored 24-3 in Saturday’s second half of their 45-24 loss to the Commodores inside Neyland Stadium.
“It sucks that my last game in Neyland ended how it ended,” Aguilar said Saturday night, “but I’m grateful to go out there one more time with the guys in a bowl game and to be out there in practice. Practice is really where you make the most memories.
“You only get a certain amount of game days, but I’m excited to attack practice with the guys one more time.”
