Beat Florida Again

Yeah, sure the Vols ended their losing streak to Florida in 2016.

But is that really good enough?

Tennessee doesn’t want to be 1-12 in their last 13 games against the Gators.

Because if they lose to Florida in 2017, that will immediately become the narrative.

If Tennessee wants to become a force in the SEC again, they have to start beating Florida more than Florida beats them.

Winning in the swamp in 2017 to make it two in a row against the Gators would be pretty damn sweet for Vol fans.
