It has been a long 11-years. Nor will they need to worry that the Vols will be 3 dive plays and out if they need to hang onto the ball. Tim Tebow, the Gators legendary QB, was in Junior High-school.

Will Tennessee find a way to pull this one off?
Rather than letting the past become a burden, the Vols can try to flip the losing streak in their psychological favor. Playing at home, the Vols have pulled out all the gimmicks in hopes to beat Florida. Tennessee is probably overranked at No. 14, but Florida is also probably overranked at No. 19.
The 46th meeting between Tennessee and Florida is one that many Vol fans have had their eye on since UT’s heartbreaking loss in Gainesville last season. Along with that, the Vols faithful will “Checker-Neyland”. College game-day will also be in attendance, with CBS calling the game at 3:30 EST. He’ll have his hands full getting separation from a very good Florida secondary led by Teez Tabor, but a big play or two from Malone would be big for a Tennessee offense that otherwise lacks explosiveness. “I train at a high level and hold myself to high expectations and I expect myself to go out each time I step on the field to play at a high level”.
The Gators allowed a program-low 53 yards from the Mean Green, sacked Fine seven times and posted their first shutout in the Jim McElwain Era. The most notable injuries for Florida are quarterback Luke Del Rio and receiver Antonio Callaway. I know our guys have trust in Austin and Feleipe and Kyle. Florida has allowed 127 rushing yards through three games; the average of 42.3 yards per game is third nationally, and the Gators lead the nation in fewest yards per carry, at 1.31 (91 carries, 127 yards).
Appleby is a transfer from Purdue and he has previous starting experience having started 11 games for the Boilermakers. There is still plenty of football that needs to be played after Week 4, and the Georgia Bulldogs appear to be contenders as well. The fans will be as loud as possible, in an attempt to disrupt the Gators.
This one’s been lopsided in recent years.
On how the quarterbacks are preparing for a hostile environment at Neyland Stadium and whether “Rocky Top” has been played at practices. However, it doesn’t stop there. Please. But from a prediction standpoint, I have the Vols FINALLY pulling one out and winning in front of a raucous home crowd that will be going bananas. Tennessee’s offensive line has continued to struggle even with the new starting lineup they rolled out on the field against Ohio. After leading 27-14 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Florida came back to win in the Swamp, 28-27.
Mike DeBord has to come out guns-a-blazing Saturday.
Florida’s offense tacked on 30 more points Saturday night, but with the way the defense played, it didn’t need to.

The Vols were forced to go with Drew Richmond and Brett Kendrick as their tackles for the first two games of the season, but Richmond’s struggles prompted Kendrick’s flip from right to left tackle and center Coleman Thomas moved to right tackle against OH last week. The players have began to bark-back at the “haters” and “na-sayers” but the bottom line is everything that anyone has been “negative” about to this point is true.
