The Florida Gators (2-1) defeated the Tennessee Volunteers (2-1) 29-16 in the Swamp on Saturday night to pull off the upset.
Florida’s offense came out with a balanced attack as they scored on four of their first five drives and the one drive, they didn’t score was because of a missed field goal.
The Gators defense did their part as well as they limited the Vols passing game and picked up their first turnover of the year when Devin Moore intercepted Joe Milton in the second quarter.
