AT FIRST GLANCE THE FLORIDA GAME
¢ Saturday’s game represents the 43rd meeting between Tennessee and Florida. ¢ Florida has a 23-19 series advantage, including an eight-game win streak, a series long for the Gators . ¢ UT’s last win in the series was on Sept. 19, 2004, a 30-28 victory at home. UT last won at UF in 2001 and 2003. ¢ The Vols have won four times since 1998, and in three of those seasons, UT has appeared in the SEC Title Game (1998, 2001, 2004; also won in 2003). ¢ Tennessee has scored at least 30 points vs. Florida only twice in the last 12 meetings, winning both games (34-32 in 2001, 30-28 in 2004). ¢ The Vols are seeking to end a 17-game losing streak vs. ranked teams dating to 2009 and a eight game conference road losing streak dating to 2010.
TURNOVER TICKER
¢ Tennessee is tied for third (Ohio, Wake Forest) in the nation in 2013 with nine turnovers forced in 2013 (North Texas and Tulane - 11). ¢ UT forced only 12 turnovers in entire 2012 season. ¢ With seven interceptions, the Vols lead the SEC and are tied for second in the NCAA (Northwestern, 8). ¢ The Vols' turnover margin of +6 (+2.0/game) leads the SEC ranks tied for fourth nationally.

¢ The Vols lead the SEC in red zone defense (66.7%), turnover margin (+2.0), fewest penalty yardage (19.0), and in opponent penalties (72.0). UT ranks tied for first in fewest penalties (6) and fewest sacks against (0.67 per game, 2 total).
A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...
Represent the first win over the Gators since 2004 and snap an eight-game UT losing streak to Florida. End an eight-game conference road losing streak since a 24-10 win at Vandy on Nov. 20, 2010, including all SEC road games in 2011 and 2012. The Vols would also be 1-0 in SEC play for the first time since 2004. Give UT its first win over a ranked team since beating #21 So. Carolina, 31-13 on 10/31/09 (17 games), first road win over a ranked team since a 51-33 win at #10 UGA on 10/7/06 (15 games), first win over a ranked team away from home since a 21-17 victory over #18 Wisconsin in the 2008 Outback Bowl (15 games). Improve Tennessee to 3-1 for the third consecutive season, but also for only the fourth time in the last eight seasons from 2006-13.
