Overview
- Kickoff is set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium with ABC televising the game.
- Tennessee enters 7-3 (3-3 SEC) and No. 20, Florida is 3-7 (2-5), and this 55th meeting comes with the Gators leading the series 32-22.
- BetMGM lists Tennessee as a 4.5-point favorite, ESPN’s FPI gives the Vols a 65% win chance, and another model pegs it near 55% for UT.
- The SEC injury report lists multiple absences: Tennessee is without DBs Jermod McCoy, Rickey Gibson III and Sidney Walton, while Florida is without WR Eugene Wilson III and several defenders, with QB Tramell Jones Jr. questionable.
- Tennessee pairs a prolific offense (495.0 yards and 43.4 points per game) with a vulnerable pass defense, as Florida navigates a coaching transition and DJ Lagway’s uneven season that drew a cool assessment from Lane Kiffin.
