M-Barrassed in Citrus Bowl

Tennessee Vols stomp on Wolverines in a rare romp

ANN ARBOR, MI  JANUARY 2, 2002

Ouch.  The Tennessee Volunteers did what is mostly unheard of, especially over the past several years - they routed a Michigan Wolverine football team.  It was as ugly as it can get.  

So, we'll have to see how this impacts their plans for next year.  I read that they were going to insert Spencer Brinton into the game with 2 minutes, but never got the ball back.  Where are Drew Henson, Tom Brady, Brian Griese, Todd Collins, Elvis Grbac, Scott Driesbach and Jim Harbaugh when you need them?  I am sure that the M will work this out and find their next QB.

As a follow-up, the impact nationally of the blow-up was lessened significantly by the other major schools that were also crushed (Colorado and Nebraska for instance).
