Last season, Tennessee defeated Florida at Neyland Stadium to snap a five-game losing streak vs. the Gators. On Saturday, the No. 11 Volunteers will attempt to end two decades of misery at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium as they look for consecutive victories vs. their SEC East rival. The Vols last beat the Gators on the road in 2003, and UF will be eager to extend its home winning streak going in the series and secure what would be a signature victory early in coach Billy Napier’s second season.
Florida got back on track in Week 2 with a 49-7 win over FCS foe McNeese State, but the memory of a 24-11 season-opening loss at Utah is still fresh as the Gators try and establish their identity following a 5-7 debut campaign for Napier. Beating a division rival like Tennessee, which is coming off its first 11-win season since 2001, would change the narrative surrounding the Gators as conference play begins.
The Volunteers began the season with an easy 49-13 win over Virginia, but they followed up with an ugly 30-13 victory over Austin Peay that raised red flags over whether the program is regressing amid the loss of star quarterback Hendon Hooker. Veteran signal-caller Joe Milton has taken over the position within third-year coach Josh Heupel’s high-flying offense but has yet to demonstrate the passing touch that made Hooker a star for the Volunteers.
