If you don’t get a chance to watch a lot of SEC football because of your
travels to and from Virginia Tech games, you might not be all that familiar with
the 2009 Tennessee Volunteers. Today we’ll give a quick recap of their season,
game-by-game, and later in the week we’ll take a more in-depth look at their
offensive and defensive personnel.

The Vols went 7-5 on the season, with a 4-4 mark in the SEC. For awhile it
was questionable as to whether they would go to a bowl game, but finishing the
year by winning four of their last five games propelled them into the Chick-fil-A
Bowl against the Hokies.

Lane Kiffin will lead his team into this game amidst allegations of
recruiting violations, but that probably won’t make a difference in this one.
Both teams have a good reason to like their matchups. This has the potential to
be a great game.
