UT vs. Big 10

Old Smokey asked earlier about our record against the Big 10. So here's what I found.

Since 1979, we have played 11 bowl games against the Big 10 (they were formed in 1896). As of right now we own a 6-5 record against them. Here they are.

1979 Bluebonnet Bowl  Purdue 27   UT 22
1981 Garden State Bowl  UT 28   Wisconsin 21
1982 Peach Bowl  Iowa 28   UT 22
1986 Liberty Bowl  UT 21   Minnesota 14
1988 Peach Bowl  UT 27   Indiana 22
1992 Fiesta Bowl  Penn St 42   UT 17
1994 Citrus Bowl  Penn St 31   UT 13
1996 Citrus Bowl  UT 20   Ohio St 14
1997 Citrus Bowl  UT 48   Northwestern 28
2002 Citrus Bowl  UT 45   Michigan 17
2007 Outback Bowl  Penn St 20   UT 10

Notice the desparity with Penn St? We've NEVER won a bowl game against Joe Pa. Hmmmm...

On the other side of the coin, however, we did win our only showdown with Wisconsin in 1981.

Let's go 7-5!  GO VOLS!!!
