    Final score, highlights from the week 7 match

    Vaseline Posted on

    No. 9 Tennessee football needed a rebound win and got one against old nemesis Florida at Neyland Stadium.

    The Vols (5-1, 2-1 SEC) scored 17 unanswered points and remain in the hunt for the College Football Playoff after a 23-17 overtime win against the Gators (3-3, 1-2). Florida had won 17 of the past 19 games in the series.

    UT coach Josh Heupel had to get his offense back on track after subpar performances in a 25-15 win over Oklahoma and a 19-14 loss to Arkansas.

    Here are the updates and highlights from Tennessee’s game against Florida.

    Tennessee vs. Florida Prediction

    Tennessee 34, Florida 20: Tennessee simplifies the game plan, hands the ball to Dylan Sampson, hits some big passes with maximum protection around Nico Iamaleava and plays strong defense in the red zone. The score will be closer than the game, but that’s just to keep UT fans on edge. We can expect nothing less in the Florida game. See more predictions from our Knox News staff.
