A total of 22 former players from current Southeastern Conference institutions are on the active rosters of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, the two National Football League teams who will square off in Super Bowl LVII on February 12.
The Volunteers make the big plays needed against the Tigers en route to a 31-14 victory that gives them 11 wins in a season for the first time since 2001.
Josh Heupel credits the play of QB Joe Milton III, the presence of injured QB Hendon Hooker, and his defense for No. 6 Tennessee's 31-14 romp over No. 6 Clemson.
