OUR PREDICTION: Nine players remain suspended for Florida, including top receiver Antonio Callaway. Couple those suspensions with the challenges of also dealing with Hurricane Irma (and the aftermath) and this is a tough spot for the Gators. Tennessee hasn’t been good defensively to start the season, but with Florida’s quarterback situation in flux, I’m not sure that matters. Tennessee exercised its Florida demons a year ago and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Vols win outright again today.
