The rundown
Tennessee doesn't have a ton to play for this season, battling a five game losing streak and an outbreak of COVID-19 currently within the program. That should make this home contest all the more motivating for the Volunteers, however, with the chance to knock off SEC East rival Florida as the Gators aspire for an SEC Championship appearance.
We're not banking on that outcome, however. It'll be chilly and perhaps Florida will get off to another slow start as such, but it's hard to predict this Tennessee offense finding a way to keep up with Florida's throughout the day. Jarrett Guarantano has regressed and may even be unseated by freshman Harrison Bailey at some point in hopes of sparking what has been a miserable offensive showing throughout the majority if the season.
Gators quarterback Kyle Trask, meanwhile, is five touchdowns away from tying Danny Wuerffel's program record of 39 single-season touchdowns. We're confident he can break that over the final two weeks of the regular season, but wouldn't it be something to see Trask break the record, or at least tie it, on Rocky Top.
