The first "SEC on CBS" game of the year will feature East Division rivals on opposite ends of a five-game streak in their series.
No. 11 Tennessee (3-0) is looking to gain ground on No. 20 Florida in their Saturday meeting in Neyland Stadium. The Volunteers have lost five straight in this series since a 38-28 victory over the Gators in 2016 (also in Knoxville, Tenn.). Florida's streak includes double-digit victories in each of the last four seasons.
Second-year Vols coach Josh Heupel will look to get the most out of a team that has scored at least 34 points in each of its three games this season while giving up just 43 points total. A win on Saturday would mark the team's best start since, you guessed it, 2016.
Florida has had an up-and-down season. The Gators upended No. 7 Utah to start the season — a massive victory for Billy Napier's then-unranked team. They fell to earth the following week, losing to Kentucky for a second consecutive year for the first time since 1976 and 1977. Week 3 wasn't much better, even in a win; the Gators survived an upset bid by South Florida, 31-28.

Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson has yet to throw for a touchdown this season, and he'll have his hands full with a Tennessee defense that has given up points with extreme prejudice so far this season. That said, his dual-threat ability will keep the Volunteers on their toes.
