Saturday night will mark the return of what was once a great rivalry. Tennessee football travels to Gainesville, Fla. to take on the Florida Gators in its first road game of 2021. It’s a battle of 2-1 teams, both of whom are 0-1 against the one Power Five foe they have faced this year and will be opening their SEC season.
The Vols come into this game having beaten the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles 56-0 and two weeks removed from a 41-34 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers. Florida, meanwhile, comes into on the heels of a heartbreaking 31-29 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
