Neyland at Night

Since the Vols and Gators began playing each other every season in 1990, the teams have met inside Neyland Stadium with a kickoff time of 7 p.m. or later on four occasions.

Tennessee holds a 3-1 record in those contests with wins in 1990 (45-3), 1998 (20-17 OT) and 2004 (30-28). UT's lone loss came in 2006 (21-20) to a Florida team that went on to win the National Championship.

About Florida

The Gators enter Saturday's game with a 2-1 record after posting victories over Charleston Southern (53-6) and Colorado State (48-10). UF dropped their SEC opener to Kentucky (27-16) two weeks ago, ending a 31-game win streak against the Wildcats.

Florida is led by Dan Mullen, who is in his first season as the Gators head coach after a successful nine-year stint as the head man at Mississippi State. Mullen is a familiar face in Gainesville after serving as the program's offensive coordinator from 2005-08, helping lead the Gators to a pair of SEC and National Titles in 2006 and 2008.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Feleipe Franks leads the Gators' offense, having thrown for 570 yards and nine touchdowns so far this season. Ole Miss transfer Van Jefferson and Freddie Swain have been Franks' top targets in the passing game, combining for 232 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Dameon Pierce, Jordan Scarlett and Lamical Perine will see the bulk of the carries for the Gators. Pierce leads the team with 162 yards on the ground while Scarlett has added 105 and Perine has rushed for 99.

On defense, UF is one of the top teams in the country at creating takeaways. The Gators' defense has already forced eight turnovers to go along with 20 tackles for loss and eight sacks. Florida's plus-five turnover margin ranks ninth in the nation and second in the SEC.

Any one that want to take the time, spend a few minutes in the gator forum, be sure to take a shower and scrub that off of you after. They are really more depressing in their beat up early 80’s pinto, than our comfy Cadillac forum.
