Amid an age where bowl games are seemingly created out of thin air, the Music City Bowl has been a model of consistency in Bowl Season. The first edition was played at Vanderbilt Stadium in 1998. It moved to its longtime home at Nissan Stadium the following season. Since then, it’s become a holiday season standard. This year will mark the 24th iteration of the game (it was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
This year, it’s a battle between the Big Ten’s Maryland Terrapins and the SEC’s Auburn Tigers. While this will be Maryland’s first trip to Nashville for the game, Auburn will be making its third appearance. The Tigers have won their first two trips, beating Wisconsin 28-14 in 2003 and crushing Purdue 63-14 in 2018.
This will also mark the third meeting between Auburn and Maryland but the first since the 1983 season. That was an interesting year for both schools. At the time, Auburn was ranked No. 3 and beat No. 7 Maryland 35-23. It was part of a remarkable run of five straight wins over ranked teams (including four in the top 10) to finish the season 11-1. The Tigers finished the year No. 3 in the AP Poll behind an 11-1 Miami team that had just beaten No. 1 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl but only had two other wins against ranked teams. Nebraska finished No. 2 despite only one win against a ranked opponent.
Auburn probably would’ve liked to see a playoff in 1983.
