Florida Gators will beat Tennessee….again

Joining Sutton on the injury list last week were linebackers Quart’e Sapp (ACL) and Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder), though Tennessee expects Reeves-Maybin to go while Sapp, a reserve, has been lost for the season.

Clemson: The most likely road to the ACC title game includes the Tigers beating Louisville next week and FSU beating Clemson to force a three-way tie that would be decided by some fancy computer metrics.

UF (3-0, 1-0 in the SEC) has won its last 11 games against UT (3-0, 0-0) entering Saturday’s game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, matching Alabama’s streak over Auburn from 1973-1981 for the second-longest among the top rivalries in the league.

Meanwhile in Gainesville, Florida coach Jim McElwain must be wondering what he has to do to keep a starting quarterback from harm’s way. “And, not as an excuse, this guy is a good player, so he makes you look bad”. You want to be the guy that’s got the ball in his hands. Tennessee lost a heart-breaker a year ago in The Swamp, whipping this rivalry into one of the hottest in the country. He had 11 starts in 17 games in his three years with the Boilermakers. The new face under center doesn’t have the arm that Del Rio has, so Florida will turn to its ground game to move the chains. Joshua Dobbs threw for a 203 yards and a pair of scores to Josh Malone, while also rushing for 59 yards and a touchdown.

“We’re already in the “next man up” mindset, and we’re just executing”, defensive back Rashaan Gaulden said. “I’m not going to rush him back”.

However, coach Butch Jones is optimistic Sutton will not miss the entire season. Saturday’s matchup could be the defining game of the senior’s career. He also had Tennessee’s lone interception of the year and was used as both a punt and kickoff returner. “But every day we are just trying to be a better team, and when we come into this week we know it’s Florida, we know we are rivals and we pretty much don’t like each other, so it makes it fun when you get on the field and we can compete and try to end that streak”.

“We have great confidence that some individuals will step up”. “I don’t think we tackled them one time”. Florida looked very good on defense in this game by shutting out the Mean Green and only allowing 53 total yards.

“We have a message from DBU to Tennessee”, Florida junior cornerback Quincy Wilson told 247Sports’ Thomas Goldkamp. Florida led the nation in scoring, with 336 points according to Florida Athletics, and had one of the fastest running backs in the nation. “It’s definitely exciting to see him go through this game”, safety Marcus Maye said. “Offensively, it’s the same thing”. Offensive tackle Chance Hall, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last month and hasn’t played all season, is practicing again and might be available Saturday. “They will continue to work and get better, but we are searching for the best (five linemen) that give us an opportunity to win”. It was insane. I remember when their kicker tried to win the game at the end, I was just praying to God.
