Florida vs. Tennessee: Can the Gators slow down the high-flying Vols?

After three straight home games to open the Billy Napier era, Florida goes on the road for the first time this season. This is not just any road game either: The Gators head to Knoxville, Tennessee, where College GameDay, 100,000 rabid fans and a tough Tennessee football team await.

In spite of the fact that Florida has won 16 of the last 17 games in this series, this is still a rivalry — to those 100,000 people that will be in attendance Saturday, certainly. I was living in east Tennessee in 2016 while coaching at Tusculum University.
