The Florida Gators have dominated the Tennessee Volunteers through the years, but can they keep it up in Knoxville on Saturday?
Go home, pack it up, fold the tent and head home. If you watch/listen to the mouth breathing from pundits from this game, you'd think that the"Yeah, man, he's a unicorn. That guy a 6'6", I don't know how much he weighs, but he's a big athletic -- he's ripping balls in the outside third, 15, 20 yards deep,” Napier said. “He's throwing it. All the vertical shots, he's got a big time arm. He's accurate. He can escape, extend.
Meanwhile, Nico Iamaleava flashes the ability that keeps him in Heisman conversation. Throwing for 275-plus yards and three scores, you can see why the Volunteers are sitting in the top 10 and look like a legitimate threat to win the SEC championship. On the other hand, the work of two Gators’ quarterbacks answers the bell. Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway actually outduel Iamaleava, combining for 350-plus yards and three touchdowns. Florida does not look tentative or nervous in the slightest.
Later in the third quarter the score-fest grinds to a halt where yards come at a premium with each team not budging. As it looks like Tennessee is about to pull away, the much-maligned Florida defense forces a punt. A fourth-quarter score cuts the lead to five. Tennessee salts the clock away, holding on for dear life, continuing their path to the playoff.
