Florida vs Tennessee Game Preview


Why Tennessee Will Win

The Vols are rebuilding, but in a slight surprise, the defense hasn’t been all that bad. It’s great against the run, good at getting into the backfield and it’s been great on third downs.

But in this, it’s about whether or not Joe Milton – coming back from an injury – or Hendon Hooker and the passing game can get going against a Florida secondary that held its own against Alabama, but isn’t a rock.

It’s also about whether or not …

Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why Florida Will Win

Tennessee turns the ball over.

The Vol run D stats are a bit misleading. Pitt can run a bit, but Bowling Green and Tennessee Tech weren’t going to do much on the ground. Florida won’t take many chances, because it doesn’t have to.

The formula for this is easy. Run the ball, keep running it, control the clock, and wait for the Vols to make a mistake.

Tennessee is awful in the time of possession battle – that’s sort of by design with its fast attack that keeps things moving. The Gators should be able to grind it out offensively, and for a defense that doesn’t take the ball away a ton – just three times so far – getting at least two takeaways would tip the scales.

What’s Going To Happen

Just how beaten up emotionally and physically is Florida after that wonderful battle against Alabama?

If anything – from all indications – the team was charged up by that now that it knows it can hang with the elite of the elite.

The Gators are also catching a break with Milton likely starting – Hooker is the better option. Hooker won big games like this at Virginia Tech, and Milton 1) never won big battles at Michigan and 2) isn’t accurate enough to pull this off.

It’ll take a little while to get going, but Florida will have the ball for over 35 minutes as it grinds its way to a win.

Why Florida Will Win

It’s been a grind for the Gators this year, but they were able to move on by shooting okay in the 69-63 win over Vanderbilt in the first round of the SEC Tournament. They moved the ball around well and held down the Commodores from three.

It’s a decent defensive team inside and out – it comes up with a slew of blocked shots, even though it didn’t do much against Vandy – and it’s the best-shooting three point team in the SEC.

The Gators will make their shots, but …

Why Tennessee Will Win

The whole of Florida isn’t nearly as good as the sum of its parts. Yes, it shoots well, but t’s not a high-powers scoring team. Yes, it’s solid defensively in a whole slew of ways, but it doesn’t come up with enough rebounds.

Tennessee might be mega-flaky, but it beat the Gators a few days ago even though nothing was happening from three. The Vols don’t beat themselves with a whole lot of turnovers, they hit their free throws, and they’re even better defensively than Florida.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

Which Tennessee will show up?

Will it be the version that occasionally shows the ability to put teams away with a burst, or will it be the one that got dropkicked by the Gators 75-49 back in January when it couldn’t hit a thing?

Florida has the right makeup to pull off the upset, but can it keep up the scoring to answer the Vol runs?

The Gator defense will lock down just enough from three, and there will be just enough consistency on the offensive end – even if it’s not from the outside – to come up with a nice all-around performance to keep it close late.

Florida will match the Vols free throw for free throw before pulling this off with one big defensive stop.

Why Florida Will Win

Tennessee isn’t moving the ball at all.

The defense isn’t amazing, but it’s also not getting any help. The Vol offense was able to connect on 60% of its third down chances against Auburn, but that’s an outlier. In general so far, the Vols have been a total disaster on third downs – they’re last in the SEC in conversions – and the defense isn’t doing its part, either.

That all leads to the other big problem – time of possession. Florida can strike quickly, but keeping Kyle Trask and company off the field as much as possible is a must. For all of the flash and dash, the Gators are terrific when it comes to ball control, there aren’t a ton of turnovers outside of a few high-profile Trask misfires, and then there’s the offense.

It’s relentless.

Trask hasn’t thrown a pick in either of the last two games, he’s up to 36 touchdown passes hitting 71% of his throws, and the big plays keep on coming. Trask has improved his completion percentage over each of the last five games, but …

Week 14 College Schedule

Why Tennessee Will Win

Tennessee has the pass rush to be an issue.

The Gator offensive front is doing an outstanding job in pass protection, but Tennessee is decent at generate enough of a push behind the line to be a problem. Not having star pass rusher Kivon Bennett around doesn’t help, but the D is consistent at getting into the backfield.

For all of the offensive problems, it came up with its first 200 rushing yard, 200 receiving yard game of the year in the loss to Auburn a few weeks ago, RB Eric Gray is quietly cranking out a big season with three 100-yard days in the last four, and it all has to start working.

The Florida defense has started to looked great lately, but going against Vanderbilt and Kentucky had a lot to do with that. However …

What’s Going To Happen

The Florida D was good against Georgia and others, too.

Like Alabama’s defense, the Gators suffer a wee bit perception-wise after playing Ole Miss early – the game at Texas A&M didn’t help – but they really are good enough on that side of the ball to at least hold serve.

Tennessee keeps on trying, but it’s not having any real luck over the five-game losing streak, and now it’s about to get hit hard by Trask and the Florida O that gets through this, deals with LSU, and then will be off to the SEC Championship.
