Florida football: Time set for Florida-Tennessee showdown

Florida football has no one to blame but Georgia State and Brigham Young.

It’s because those two teams came into Knoxville and caused Tennessee to start the season 0-2 that the match-up between Florida and Tennessee kicks off at noon.

Usually, this is a game that gets some kind of prime time treatment, whether on ABC — if they’re both ranked — or ESPN, or the SEC Network.

Now, the Sept. 21 showdown at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium will kick off at noon and be on either ESPN, ESPN2 or the SEC Network.

It’s a big fall from grace for a game that usually produces a ton of excitement and fandom.
