Jauan Jennings totaled two receptions and led the Vols with 56 receiving yards.

The altercation resulted in the Tennessee wide receiver being suspended for the first half of the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl versus Indiana due to the SEC's ruling.
Former Tennessee director of athletics Phillip Fulmer did not appeal Jennings' suspension.
“Commissioner (Greg) Sankey shared his perspective on the actions in question, we had a long conversation about the matter, and we will honor the suspension," Fulmer said. "Jauan has been nothing but outstanding for our team and program this entire season."
David Smith was the referee for the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game in 2019. Rodney Lawary (umpire), Tim Sistrunk (linesman), Michael Taylor (line judge), Paul Schardein (back judge), Allan Nicholson (field judge), Alex Moore (side judge) and Ed Allbritton (center judge) were also officials for the game.
