Earlier this month, we recognized the 20-year anniversary of Sept. 11. The tragedy affected everything, but it had one particular impact on the sports world: creating the watershed moment for the explosive rivalry between Tennessee football and the Florida Gators at the time.
That game was canceled in 2001 due to the attacks and moved to Dec. 1. When they met, Florida was No. 2, the Vols were No. 5, and the SEC East and a chance to play for the national title were on the line. At that point, only UT or UF had ever won the SEC East.
