No. 9 Tennessee (2-0, 0-0 SEC) will open Southeastern Conference play on Saturday at Florida (1-1, 0-0 SEC).
Kickoff between the Vols and Gators is slated for 7 p.m. EDT (ESPN).
Third-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Monday and previewed the Vols’ game week.
“Looking forward to going and playing a really good football team,” Heupel said. “Great opportunity. You come to Tennessee because you want to play in these types of games and these types of environments. Sitting on primetime Saturday night. Great challenge in front of us, really good football team. They’re big, strong and athletic on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The skill players on both sides are really good. Great speed and will be a huge test for us.”
