It wasn’t exactly the follow-up to last week’s gutsy performance that some expected, but the Gators took care of business against a Tennessee team that put up a good fight for a while but eventually ran out of steam.
The Volunteers managed to hit a couple of big plays in the first half and even led 17-14 in the second quarter, but those big plays were few and far between, and the UF defense mostly held them in check otherwise. Florida earned a 38-14 win over the Vols (its fifth-straight in the series) to move to 1-1 in the SEC.
There are certain things UF needs to clean up, but it played very well in the second half, and the outcome of this game was never really in doubt. Here are our five takeaways from the contest.
