The Vols (2-1) haven't come particularly close to ending the streak recently. The Gators squeaked past the Vols 21-20 in their 2006 national championship season, but the last six Florida-Tennessee games had an average margin of 19 points, with each of them being decided by double digits.
Tennessee, playing its SEC opener, also has lost its last 17 games against ranked opponents. The Vols are 1-23 versus Top 25 teams since 2008.
Tennessee is coming off a 59-14 loss at No. 2 Oregon that represented the Vols' worst varsity defeat since 1910.
It's time.
