‘I don’t mind it’ – Vols QB Joey Aguilar isn’t too worried about a challenge he’ll have to find a way to manage in Music City Bowl
The Tennessee Vols are set to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini on December 30 in the Music City Bowl in Nashville.
The Tennessee Vols and the Illinois Fighting Illini will be dealing with some cold weather on Tuesday in the Music City Bowl in Nashville.
The highs are supposed to be in the 70s in Nashville this weekend, before dropping to the 30s next week.
Tuesday’s forecasted high in Nashville is currently 34 degrees.
Vols QB Joey Aguilar isn’t worried about the cold weather
Vols starting quarterback Joey Aguilar, who is from northern California, was asked on Friday after Tennessee practiced in Nashville about playing in near freezing temps.
The former Appalachian State quarterback pointed out that he practiced in extremely cold weather during his time in Boone, NC, so he has plenty of cold weather experience.
“I don’t mind it,” said Aguilar. “It’s fun. At App State, the last couple games, we were practicing in 15 or 10 degree weather out there in the snow. We were trying to be tough out there with no long sleeves on and freezing. But as you get going, it’s fun. Everybody is out there enjoying it. So I don’t think it’s too big of an aspect to worry about, personally — just because I’ve been in that type of weather already. But it’ll be a fun game to go play.”
Tennessee and Illinois will kick off at 4:30 PM CT/5:30 PM ET on Dec. 30.
