Do U No...Tennessee vs Florida

The Vols and Gators have met 37 times, with Tennessee now holding the slimmest of margins at 19-18. Florida has won three straight, coinciding with the arrival of Urban Meyer on the scene in Gainesville. Once the Vols broke Steve Spurrier's death grip on them in 1998, this series enjoyed an entertaining and highly competitive run of games: in the nine meetings from 1998 to 2006, six of the games came down to the final drive, and the Gators held a 5-4 advantage over that time period. But last year, the floodgates were opened anew, and Florida trashed the Vols 59-20, scoring the game's final 31 points in the last quarter and a half! It was the worst loss the Vols have suffered since 1981. (OUCH!)
