There won’t be a dozen straight wins over Tennessee, but there are dozens of reasons the Florida Gators (3-1, 1-1 SEC) lost to the Tennessee Volunteers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) 38-28 on Saturday in Knoxville.
A 21-point first half lead that seemed insurmountable. The Gators’ defense was stout, creating a turnover on downs and an interception in the red zone. The offense was firing on all cylinders.
On the third play of the game Austin Appleby fired a 51-yard pass to Antonio Callaway. Two plays later Appleby connected with DeAndre Goolsby for a touchdown.
“I thought Austin played pretty darn good for what we asked him to do,” McElwain said.
