Tennessee and Nebraska squared off on Tuesday evening in Nashville, but not on the field, rather in a hot chicken eating contest as part of the welcome activities for these two teams that are set to play in the Music City Bowl on Friday.
The Vols turned to their biggest player – 340-pound defensive tackle Charles Mosley – to help represent the team in the challenge. He went all in, ripping his shirt off and heading up to the stage to battle against the Huskers:

It wasn’t enough, however. Nebraska took home the title in that event:
