Tennessee tried to rally late, but three turnovers proved to be too costly as an 88-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Penn State's Tony Davis was the difference in a defensive struggle.  The Nittany Lions defeated the No. 17 Volunteers, 20-10, in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay on a soggy field.

Penn State's Tony Hunt ran 31 times for 158 yards then showed he isn't ready for the NFL when he said Tennessee didn't want to tackle him from the get go thus proving if he doesn't watch his mouth he will provide way too much bulletin board material in the future.  Otherwise, both teams showed a lot of class and sportsmanship which I like to see.

One thing that bothers me about Tennessee Head Coach Phil Fulmer is that he uses bowls as "Winter Practice." We are 1 and 3 in our last four bowls and I think Fulmer's approach is partially responsible. He doesn't seem to try to win bowl games for the seniors or the fans.

I believe he succombs to the temptation to let his younger players play as preparation for the next season. He is under tremendous pressure to win championships and must do so if he is to continue his lucrative career at Tennessee and protect his tenure as Dean of SEC football coaches.
