Comments

This game isn’t the rivalry it used to be. Florida should be the heavy favorite here, especially if rumors about Jarrett Guarantano not playing in this game prove to be true. Then again, that might be the best thing that ever happened to this Vol team. Guarantano is still developing and it might be beneficial for him to watch from the sidelines for a game or two. Who knows? Maybe Tennessee will strike gold with one of their backups quarterbacks. I believe Tennessee will give Florida a fight. Florida probably wins by at least 17 points.
