The Florida Gators (3-7, 2-5 SEC) host the No. 20 Tennessee Volunteers (7-3, 3-3 SEC) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. Follow along for live updates.
The last time Tennessee beat Florida in The Swamp was in 2003. Since then, the Gators have won a staggering 10 straight games against the Volunteers in front of their home crowd. Florida has lost its last three games, while Tennessee is coming off a blowout victory against New Mexico State.
PREGAME: Wide receiver Vernell Brown III and defensive back Bryce Thornton, two of UF's top players, are listed as game-time decisions today. Brown III missed last week's loss to Ole Miss with a shoulder issue, while Thornton played in that game.
12 Gators have already been ruled out, per the SEC Availability Report. Inactives include edge rusher George Gumbs Jr. and defensive lineman Michai Boireau.
For the Volunteers, star cornerback Jermod McCoy remains out. He has not suited up this season after suffering an ACL tear in January. Productive tight end Miles Kitselman is also out for UT. He has 25 catches for 250 yards on the season.
