#10 Florida Gators vs Tennessee Volunteers
Saturday 12:30 PST (see below for viewing locations)

Howdy Gators,

After a sluggish start last week against South Florida, it appeared that the Gators lousy outing against Miami of Ohio might not be an aberration. However, something obviously clicked at the end of the second quarter, and the Gators turned on the jets for the remainder of the contest, scoring 31 second-half points largely on the heels of Jeff Demps (Percy Lite?) and our other diminutive speedsters. There was hardly a snap mishap this time around, and the offensive line appeared to gel late in the game, opening up huge holes for our swift backs and giving Brantley ample protection. The Defense also came up strong again with four interceptions and a fumble recovery, albeit they gave up quite a few rushing yards to the talented USF quarterback. Despite the big win the Gators fell another two spots to #10 this week, as the nation’s sportswriters seem unconvinced that the 2010 Florida team has overcome the early season jitters and is now firing on all cylinders.

This week Florida heads to Good Ol' Rocky Top to face their perennial foe, the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols looked sharp against the Oregon Ducks in the first half last week, but were blown out before a raucous home-crowd in the second. From the looks of things, Tennessee has a tough time defending the run, so expect the Gators to go at them with a healthy dose of Demps, Gillislee (love this guy thus far!) and Moody. But the young Gators will need to be on guard, as it’s never easy to play in front of 110,000 rowdy fans in Knoxville (the one plus is that it's not a night game). Additionally, the Gators will not be fueled this time around by their desire to beat the oh-so-obnoxious Lane Kiffin, who abandoned the Vols after an infamous one-year stint at the helm of Tennessee.

Come on out this weekend and watch the Orange and Blue take the field against the Vols. As mentioned last week, we will now be showing the games on both the West and Eastside. Hopefully we will see the Gators celebrating early and often in the checkerboard endzones of Neyland Stadium!

Go Gators,

Courtney
