For some — maybe even most Tennessee fans — the Florida game is the biggest moment of the year. For years, this game determined who was in the driver’s seat of the SEC East. Thanks to recent struggles from both sides (admittedly more so Tennessee) over the past few seasons, this game isn’t quite what it once was.
Dan Mullen and Jeremy Pruitt are trying to fix that, however. It will be the first try for each head coach in this series — a series that can define one’s time as the leader of a program.
These teams may not have a number beside their names this time around, but it’s a huge moment for two schools trying to claw their way back.
