Inside the Playbook: Florida at Tennessee


Florida cruised past a couple of overmatched opponents. Tennessee survived a tough game against Southern Miss and then took a week off. The Gators and Vols have prepared a little differently, but there's no doubt both teams will be ready for Saturday's showdown in Knoxville.

After a disappointing finish in 1999, the Gators look to redeem themselves and get back into national title contention. The Vols try to replace nine players taken in the NFL draft. It's the first time one of these two hasn't been favored in the SEC East, but don't count them out just yet. Look for the winner of this one to play in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 2.

Coaching Points:

  • If Tennessee commits to pressuring Jesse Palmer (7), the Vols had better get to him. Otherwise, he'll make them pay.
  • Linebacker Anthony Sessions (22) and Will Overstreet (90) line up on the same side and give the offensive line fits.
