Tennessee Volunteers: Chasing Wins, Not Dreams
Tennessee rolls into Gainesville like someone realizing they bought a lottery ticket a week late. Sure, the Vols can finish strong, but a national title run? Yeah… no. This year’s three losses shoved them down the CFP board faster than a drunk guy leaving a Waffle House.
Still, pride matters. Rivalries matter. And revenge definitely matters.
Josh Heupel’s squad sits at 7-3 and wants to salvage something shiny from the season. They beat the Gators in Knoxville last year and would love to brag about winning two straight, especially since Gainesville has been a house of horrors. Their last road win at The Swamp? 2003. Gas was cheap, iPods were new, and half the current roster was in diapers.
Joey Aguilar continues to sling it in Heupel’s system, racking up nearly three thousand yards and 22 touchdowns. His go-to superhero is Chris Brazzell II, who catches everything except the flu. Brazzell is a Biletnikoff semifinalist and averaging a ridiculous 16.8 YPC, making defensive backs look like background extras.
If Tennessee gets rolling early, the Vols can lean on tempo, athleticism, and the simple truth that Florida’s defense sometimes forgets it’s supposed to stop people.
Florida Gators: Spoiler Season Mode
Florida enters at 3-7, but don’t let that record fool you, they’ve ruined Tennessee’s year before and would happily do it again. The Gators may not be winning much, but they’re fighting, scrapping, and occasionally scaring the life out of good teams for a half.
DJ Lagway continues learning on the fly, tossing for 218 yards and a touchdown last week while also running for a score. His legs give this offense a heartbeat. Jadan Baugh? Quietly pounding toward a 1,000 yard season while carrying half the roster on his back.
And remember: Florida has won 10 straight home games vs Tennessee. That streak haunts the Vols like a bad Tinder decision.
Interim coach Billy Gonzales is trying to keep his guys locked in, reminding them that rivalry games are where legends (or villains) are made. And honestly, ruining Tennessee’s postseason hopes might be the closest thing Florida gets to a trophy this year.
Prediction
The Vols finally exorcise their Gainesville demons… but not without Florida making it weird, frustrating, and chaotic enough to cash the Over.
Final Score: Tennessee 33, Florida 27
Lean: Tennessee -4.0
Total: Over 57.0
