It’s a new era for Tennessee football, which means a new challenge for traditional opponents. The Volunteers have entered the modern era of offensive football, utilizing a spread offense that uses tempo to keep defenses off balance. It’s a huge departure from Tennessee’s attack under Jeremy Pruitt, though we haven’t quite seen it hit full song just yet.
According to Florida head coach Dan Mullen, the effort level is up at Tennessee, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
“Obviously, it’s a huge challenge, big rivalry game for us against Tennessee,” Mullen said on the SEC teleconference on Wednesday.
