No. 20 Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 SEC) will play at Florida (3-7, 2-5 SEC) on Saturday in Week 13.
Kickoff between the Vols and Gators is slated for 7:30 p.m. EST at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida. ABC will televise the contest with Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) on the call.
Tennessee’s last win against Florida at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium was on Sept. 20, 2003.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel is 2-2 versus the Gators. He guided Tennessee to wins against Florida in 2022 and 2024 at Neyland Stadium. Heupel is 0-2 at Florida as Tennessee’s head coach since his first season in 2021.
He discussed the Vols’ losing streak at Florida and if he brings attention to it with his team.
“Yeah, we talked about it today briefly,” Heupel said on Monday. “I showed a video of just the rivalry and great players and great moments and what it takes to go win in this game, ultimately. This is a great game and it’s going to be a great stage. One play doesn’t have anything to do with the next, and the previous trip down to Gainesville doesn’t have anything to do with it.
“Got to prepare the right way, got to practice the right way, and you’re going to have to go play extremely well in this one. You look at the losses that they’ve had, in particular here lately, it’s been tight football games against really good football teams in neutral site or road games, so it’s going to take our best on Saturday night.”
