And now the real season begins. Tennessee will open SEC play on Saturday night as they always do, with a game against the Florida Gators. It’s been well-documented at this point — the Volunteers haven’t won in Gainesville since 2003. They’ve been blown out, they’ve been devastated by late game heroics from the Gators, but this time does feel a little different.
Tennessee has yet to hit full song offensively through two games, but considering the opponents that they’ve faced, you’d have to think Josh Heupel and company have kept some things under wraps, too. The lack of consistency in the passing attack is a concern going in, but Florida has similar issues, which were highlighted by Utah in week one.
