Tennessee hosts Florida Saturday night in what could be the Game of the Year in the SouthEast Conference.
Tennessee looks to be back, which could make this one the Game of the Year in the SEC!
The Volunteers were an awful 5-6 SU last season while going 0-6 ATS here at home. However they opened this season with a resounding 35-18 home win over a California team that was ranked ninth in the country at the time.
Granted, the Vols got more than they bargained for in a narrow 31-30 win over Air Force last week, but they obviously had their focus on this game this week and they still did manage to put 31 points on the board. We have been very critical of quarterback Erik Ainge in the past, but he has been awesome so far completing 74.5 percent of his passes while averaging an unbelievable 13.28 yards per pass attempt!
Now Florida is also 2-0, and its wins have been by a composite score of 76-7. Keep in mind however that those victories came at home vs. Southern Miss and Central Florida, so the Gators are taking a huge jump in class here while going on the road for the first time.
With a raucous Tennessee crowd expected for this game and with an easy win over a ranked opponent already under their belts, we look for the Volunteers to spring the outright upset in this spot in front of a national TV audience.
