The Week That Was: Five thoughts on the Tennessee game

The No. 10 Gators defeated Tennessee 38-14 in the Swamp on Saturday night to pick up their first SEC win of the season.

Here are my five biggest thoughts on the week that was.

1. The slow starts are concerning.

Last week, the Gators fell behind 21-3 to Alabama in the first quarter. This week, they trailed Tennessee 14-10 in the second quarter.

Thanks in part to the energy that their fans supplied, the Gators were able to overcome those poor starts to beat the Volunteers and give themselves a chance to beat Alabama.
