September 22 — Florida @ Tennessee
The first thought here is that Tennessee should lose this game.
But the talent gap between these two teams isn’t that wide.
The Vols should have beat Florida this past season. Tennessee was clearly the more talented team. But the game plan was a mess and the Vols’ squandered several golden opportunities.
I think Tennessee will play Florida close in this game. It’ll be Pruitt’s fourth game as a head coach, so I think he’ll be in a bit of a groove.
But I still have to give the advantage to the Gators and Dan Mullen.
Mullen has been around this rivalry, so he knows what it’s all about. And he’s an experienced head coach.
I think Florida will pull this one out.
Prediction: Florida wins
Tennessee record: 2-2
