Tennessee (2-5, 2-5 SEC) will host No. 5 Florida (7-1, 7-1 SEC) Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. EST. CBS will televise the SEC East matchup.
Ahead of Saturday’s contest, Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt previewed the Gators.
“When you look at Florida, I think right now they’re playing as good as any team in the country,” Pruitt said. “Offensively, they’ve been very efficient, especially at the quarterback position. Kyle Trask has done a phenomenal job getting the ball to the right playmakers, knows where to go with the ball. We’re familiar with him. We played him last year. He played really well against us.
“I think they’ve got probably the best tight end in the country in Kyle Pitts. Nobody has really been able to slow him down. The thing has really impressed me the most about him, just in his game, everybody knew he was a very good receiving tight end, but I think you could just look at this season and he’s done a tremendous job blocking in the C-area that has really elevated his game. Nobody really talks about that, but I see it. I see the way he’s playing.”
Pruitt also discussed Trask being able to get playmakers involved within Florida’s offense from the quarterback position.
“He’s got more experience,” Pruitt said of Trask. “He’s really done a nice job getting the balls to the playmakers. He’s made a lot of really good decisions, he’s not made a lot of poor decisions.
“He has enough athletic ability to extend plays. I think he’s played really, really well.”
