The University of Florida Gators have done it again! On Saturday, October 5th, the Gators defeated the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers 29-16 in Gainesville, Florida. This marks the 10th consecutive home win in the series for the Gators.
The Gators were led by quarterback Kyle Trask, who threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns. Trask also rushed for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. The Gators defense was also a key factor in the win, as they held the Volunteers to just 16 points and forced two turnovers.
The Gators have now won 10 straight home games against Tennessee, dating back to 2007. This is the longest winning streak in the series since Florida won 11 straight from 1988-1998.
The win was also a big one for head coach Dan Mullen, who has now won four of his five matchups against Tennessee since taking over as head coach of the Gators in 2018. Mullen has now led the Gators to three consecutive wins over the Volunteers for the first time since 2008-2010.
The Gators will now look to build on this win as they prepare for their next game against the Arkansas Razorbacks on October 19th. With a win, the Gators would move to 4-1 on the season and remain in contention for a spot in the SEC Championship Game.
Overall, it was another impressive performance by the Gators, who continue to show why they are one of the top teams in the SEC. With a strong offense and defense, Florida looks poised to make a run at a championship this season.
