Tennessee players warmed up shirtless despite freezing temperatures at Ohio State

Tennessee football isn’t used to playing in freezing weather, but the Volunteers had to bundle up in Columbus on Saturday evening. But they didn’t immediately.

The team’s first-round College Football Playoff game against Ohio State included frigid temperatures, as the temperature for the 8 p.m. ET kickoff was expected to be 28 degrees Fahrenheit at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.

However, a big group of Tennessee players defied the cold by going out shirtless for warmups. Yes, seriously, a host of shirtless Volunteers took the field in Columbus to show how little they cared about winter’s worst.

This is the kind of flex that could horribly backfire if these guys get a little too cold and it affects their play.

It's 25 degrees in Columbus, Ohio
