FLORIDA V TENNESSEE 2017

Florida v Tennessee 2017

1. Overall series: 26-20 FLA 
longest winning streak FLA (2005-2015) 
largest margin of victory UT (45-3 in 1990 S.O.S.'s 1st game against the Vol)

2. This game is sometimes referred to as: the Third Saturday in September (or according to Ryan: opening day for deer hunting season).

3. Everyone's favorite UT fact: Peyton Manning never beat the Florida Gators 

4. Two favorite S.O.S. quotes about Tennessee:  
"I know why Peyton came back for his senior year. He wanted to be a three-time star of the Citrus Bowl." 
"You can't spell Citrus without U-T."

5. Players to watch: THE PUNTERS! 
"Tennessee’s Trevor Daniel was named the Ray Guy punter of the week after matching his career high with a 70-yarder against Georgia Tech on 9/4 Daniel ranks third among all college football punters in career average (45.3).

Yet Florida’s Johnny Townsend is even better. He led the nation with a 47.9 average last season and was a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award. He’s averaged 54.7 yards per kick this season." - KnoxNews
