Florida has Tennessee’s amount to get a decade-plus, however, the No. 9 Gators would probably be with their starting quarterback if they sponsor the Vols on Saturday.
Tennessee vs. Florida used to be among the SEC’s best rivalries but those days are pretty much long gone today because the Vols application has fallen on such hard times in the past several years and they have been dominated in this series for some time. Florida has just 1 loss in the previous 14 meetings, coming at Knoxville when the Gators were ranked Tennessee 14th and 19th in 2016.
Last year, Florida rolled into a 47-21 road win when both were unranked (UF hasn’t lost in eight assembly when it’s ranked and UT isn’t). Feleipe Franks threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score. Tennessee turned it over 6 days, with all four of these leading to 24 Gators points. The 47 points were Florida’s most. UT permitted a safety and price itself a touchdown by fumbling a chunk from their end zone for a touchback. Jarrett Guarantano went 7 of 18 for 164 yards with two interceptions and a fumble.
No trainer is on a hotter seat in the SEC right now than Tennessee’s Jeremy Pruitt. The Vols were embarrassed in their first two games at home, losing 38-30 into 29-26 in overtime and also Georgia State to BYU. It was Tennessee’s first start since 1988.
Pruitt’s team got its first win over FCS small brother Chattanooga. Guarantano tried only eight passes and finished seven to 142 yards and a career-high few touchdowns (all in the first half). Jauan Jennings caught a TD pass and is the very first Vol since Josh Malone in 2016 with a TD catch in each of the initial three games. Three Vols created their first career begins: Darnell Wright (true freshman) at right guard, K’Rojhn Calbert (redshirt sophomore) at right tackle and Kenneth George Jr. (redshirt junior) at cornerback. It was UT straight triumph over an in-state competition.
When the Vols get punked here, then anticipate an increasing number of chit chat regarding the college chasing Ohio State along with former Gators head coach Urban Meyer, doing work for Fox TV. Meyer recently said he had been”shocked” in the state of the Tennessee application but that it’s a”Top 10″ job in the country.
While this is Tennessee’s first road game of the year, UF won to get payback for the home upset loss of last year and had. The Gators trailed for the majority of the match, but went on a 19-0 run to return and win. Backup quarterback Kyle Trask directed UF into 3 fourth-quarter touchdown drives.
Trask was playing since Franks suffered a ankle injury which has ended his season. He had been carted off when Franks has been halted for no gain on. Franks was 12-for-17 for 147 yards and a touchdown before the injury. Trask, a junior from Texas, was 9-for-13 for 126 yards in his place. UF played with Kentucky without recipient Kadarius Toney, that will not go this week, possibly, and best cornerback C.J. Henderson. He might return vs. the Vols.
Coach Dan Mullen says he intends to play with both Trask along with redshirt freshman Emory Jones heading forward. Jones considered the team’s quarterback of the future and is a dual-threat quarterback, Even though Franks is much more of a pocket passer. Mullen planned to play Jones a few against UK also but changed his mind.
“Kyle was sort of hot,” Mullen stated through his postgame press conference. “So, we kind of stuck with it. I had a few things for Emory in, but we just kind of stuck with Kyle since he had been rolling.”
Florida has won seven games. Additionally, it has scored at least 24 points at all those, the longest such streak as a 24-game stretch which started with a 28-24 loss to LSU on Oct. 6, 2007, and was snapped with a 23-13 win over Tennessee on Sept. 19, 2009. UF is 4-0 under Mullen in games.
