GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Which Gators are we going to get on Saturday?

Granted, it's hard to consider the 49-7 whooping Florida put on McNeese State last week representative of what the Gators are consistently capable of. They beat up on an FCS team. But it was a refreshingly dominant victory nonetheless after opening the 2023 campaign with a bitter, 24-11 defeat at Utah the week before.

Opening conference play at home against a team that has lost in The Swamp nine times in a row, the question begs to be asked again: Which Gators are going to show up against No. 11 Tennessee in Week 3? 

Because if the squad resembles its Week 2 self, the Volunteers could find themselves on upset alert.
