Under Josh Heupel, the Vols are 6-4 while wearing this uniform.
The four losses consist of a pair at Alabama, a bad second quarter in Florida, and an overtime loss to Purdue in the 2021 Music City Bowl.
The first win for Tennessee was the 62-24 blowout it put on Missouri in 2021. Its two wins with the look in 2022 were the survival at Pittsburgh and the shutout in the rain at Vanderbilt.
The Vols are on a three-game win streak with the “stormtrooper” look, dating back to their 33-27 victory at Kentucky in 2023. The last two wins were a 51-10 blowout against NC State in Charlotte and a 25-15 victory over Oklahoma in Norman
