Behind Enemy Lines: Gators Wire previews Tennessee-Florida game

No. 9 Tennessee (2-0, 0-0 SEC) will open Southeastern Conference play on Saturday.

Florida (1-1, 0-0 SEC) will host the Vols in a SEC East matchup at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida.

2023 will be the final season with divisional play in the SEC.

Saturday’s matchup will be the second between head coaches Josh Heupel and Billy Napier in the rivalry. Heupel and the Vols defeated Florida, 38-33, last season at Neyland Stadium.

Tennessee is seeking its first win at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium since 2003. Quarterback Casey Clausen led Tennessee to a 24-10 win at Florida 20 years ago.
