Florida has won 16 of the last 17 meetings in its rivalry game with the Vols, but Tennessee (3-0) is off a strong start under second-year coach Josh Heupel. The Vols are coming off 63-6 win over Akron and have averaged 52 points over their first three games, including a 34-27 overtime win at defending ACC champion Pittsburgh.

The Gators (2-1, 0-1 SEC) are coming off a narrow 31-28 win over USF on Saturday night. Florida entered the game a 24.5-point favorite, but hung on late after USF kicker Spencer Shrader missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with 23 seconds left that could have forced overtime.
