    So a field goal on a neutral field. I hope the staff is playing the underdog, defend the Swamp card big time.

  6. Yep. For some reason the buildup to this game seems different.

    Having some coffee. Everything is packed. Awaiting the arrival of my aunt to load up her car and leave St. Augustine in about an hour to begin the journey.

    Rise and shine, Gator Nation.

    Time for our roar to be long and loud.

    The hour draws near to head out, set up our perimeter camp near the battlefield (some call them "tailgates", I suppose), and defend The Swamp.

    No voice tomorrow. No exceptions.

    Underdogs to Tennessee at home. Sad that it isn’t an outrage anymore. I hope BN can turn this thing around to the point that we are rarely - if ever - underdogs at home.

    ALL our GREAT UF brothers and sisters....I cannot wait to walk up Lemerand with you late this afternoon, taking it all in. Then we enter our hallowed shrine, BHG at Florida Field!

    We all know tonight this early referendum on HCBN. We HAVE to bring it loud. Coaches, especially, and all 3 phases must show out. All in, no matter what, we all must be.

    In the end, we get over the line.

    It's Great To Be A Florida Gator.

    Let’s go!!!!

    Beautiful day here this morning. Sun is out and birds are chirping and gators are lurking!!!!!
    Little bit of rain last night made it feel great. If that rain comes later today and our field is wet, no problem gators love water.

    No. 11 Tennessee at Florida (7 p.m., ESPN) | Upset probability, per SP+: 32%

    It felt like every piece I wrote this past offseason finished with "And that's why Joe Milton III is the most important player of the college football season." He came up a lot. It's not hard to see why. His arm is the stuff of legend, and he's got the rare third chance to make it big after failed starting stints at Michigan in 2020 and Tennessee in 2021.

    Through two games, Milton has been ... fine. Neither spectacular nor awful. He's completed a solid 42 of 63 passes (67%) with four touchdowns, no interceptions and, perhaps most importantly due to his sack-prone past, only two sacks.

    The droughts have been alarming, though. In Tennessee's opening win over Virginia, the Vols scored a TD on their first possession but went scoreless on their next four drives (three punts and a turnover on downs). Against Austin Peay, they began the game with two punts, a field goal, a turnover on downs and another field goal. They led just 13-6 at halftime of a lackluster 30-13 win. Milton might have the greatest hand cannon the world has ever seen, but he's completed just two passes of more than 20 yards.

    Current line: Vols -6.5 (down from -7) | SP+ projection: Vols by 8.0 | FPI projection: Vols by 1.5
