The Tigers, who have former Tennessee quarterback Riley Ferguson as their starter, are playing in the Boca Raton Bowl on Tuesday evening.
Tennessee has already announced that it will wear its Smokey gray uniforms in the the Music City Bowl for its matchup against Nebraska in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30. Fourteen people lost their lives, many more were injured and millions of dollars of damage were done when wild fires swept through the Gatlinburg area in late November of this year.
