Florida Gators Football: Gators edge out Vols, 10-9

It was all about keeping the streak alive for the Florida Gators (3-1, 2-1 SEC), who won nine consecutive games over the Tennessee Volunteers (2-3, 0-2 SEC). It wasn’t pretty but the Gators kept the streak going Saturday, defeating the Volunteers 10-9.

A game that was slow on offense for both teams saw a possible changing of the guard with Treon Harris coming into the game in the second half. The quarterback provided a spark for the team, going 2/4 with 17 yards passing. The true freshman also had 4 carries for 24 yards.

The Florida defense played big, forcing a fumble and intercepting two passes, including one by Keanu Neal that sealed the game for the Gators.
