The New Year has only just begun but the 2016 Tennessee hype is currently running at full throttle following the Volunteers' 45-6 Outback Bowl victory over Northwestern on Friday.

As if things could get any worse for the Wildcats, the Vols' dominant win was punctuated by a 99-yard interception return for touchdown by sophomore Evan Berry in the closing seconds. 

Northwestern was attempting to make the final score respectable when Wildcat quarterback Zack Oliver's pass was taken to the house by defensive back Berry, brother of the Kansas City Chiefs' Eric Berry. 

Tennessee was a game away from winning the SEC East in 2015, finishing second to Florida after the heartbreaking 28-27 loss in Gainesville after leading by 13 in the fourth quarter. The Vols should return the majority of the freshmen and sophomore laden roster. 

The 2016 schedule also works in the Vols' favor, as nine of their 12 regular-season games are o be played inside the Volunteer State borders:
