No. 20 Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 SEC) and Florida (3-7, 2-5 SEC) will play on Saturday in Week 13. Rankings reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Kickoff between the Vols and Gators is slated for 7:30 p.m. EST. ABC will televise the matchup with Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) on the call.
Joey Aguilar is in his first season as quarterback for Tennessee. Ahead of playing at Florida, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior is joining Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s lawsuit to separate JUCO and NCAA eligibility.
“Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar has joined Diego Pavia’s lawsuit against the NCAA’s JUCO rule, Front Office Sports reports,” On3 announced.
The suit argues that playing in junior college should not count towards Division I eligibility.
Ahead of Tennessee’s season opener, Aguilar discussed becoming the Vols’ starter after beginning his collegiate career in junior college.
“If you would tell me that in 2021-22, I probably would not have believed it,” he said. “I was in JUCO at that time looking at players at this level like, ‘dang, that’s crazy, I wish I was there,’ and here I am, you know? I just have to thank Jesus for giving me the opportunity to be here.”
