Days after Nebraska announced it will be honoring the victims of the East Tennessee wildfires in the Music City Bowl, Tennessee has announced a classy gesture of its own: UT players will sport a SF27 decal in honor of late Nebraska punter Sam Foltz.

Foltz was involved in a tragic car accident in July with LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye and former Michigan State kicker Mike Sadler as the three were leaving a kicking camp. Delahoussaye was the car’s only survivor.
Riley on Vols wearing 'SF27' decals: It's appreciated. "It means a lot to everyone in Nebraska." Losing Sam rocked everyone in the state.

The Volunteers will also be thinking of the East Tennessee wildfire victims, sporting the Smokey Grey uniforms.
It’s great to see both Music City Bowl teams thinking of the other team’s players and fans.
