Music City Bowl 2021: Purdue vs Tennessee

A look back at the photos: Purdue defeats Tennessee in overtime to win Music City Bowl, 48-45. I was able to travel down to Nashville, Tenn. to covert Purdue football take on the Tennessee Volunteers in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl. My first time covering a game inside a NFL stadium, Nissan Stadium did not disappoint. The sheer amount on space the sidelines was great in itself compared to the cramped sidelines of Ross-Ade. Also 10/10 on the media hospitality as there was a space outside the photo work room on the first level that not only had coffee(Wrigley Field set the bar high) but kept the tables stocked with options during the entire event. The game started off pretty slow but picked up in the second half and ended in a tense moment with the field-goal that won the game. See some of the images below or catch the full gallery online.
