Tennessee got the outcome it was after on Saturday when the Volunteers defeated the Clemson Tigers in the Orange Bowl on Friday, 31-14.

Backup quarterback Joe Milton put on a solid performance, completing 19-of-28 passes for 251 yards and 3 touchdowns on an interception-free outing. Milton has high praise for his teammates after what was largely a solid game on all cylinders.
