Former Tennessee quarterback Tee Martin has disclosed that he took a nap before the Volunteers' national championship game victory.
The revelation was shared in a story published by the Knoxville News Sentinel on October 30, 2026, detailing Martin's pregame routine ahead of the 1998 Fiesta Bowl, where Tennessee defeated Florida State to claim the BCS national championship.
Martin, who led the Volunteers to a perfect 13-0 season, said the nap helped him stay relaxed and focused for the biggest game of his college career.
