Led by seventh-year head coach Phillip Fulmer, the Volunteers compiled an overall record of 9âÂÂ3 with a mark of 6âÂÂ2, placing second in the SEC's Eastern Division. Tennessee was invited to the Fiesta Bowl, where the Volunteers lost to Nebraska. The team played home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
