No. 20 Florida (2-1, 0-1 SEC) at No. 11 Tennessee (3-0, 0-0), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS)

Line: Tennessee by 10 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Series record: Florida leads 31-20.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Tennessee is off to its first 3-0 start since 2016, and a win Saturday would give the Vols their first undefeated September since that year. This starts a stretch of three tough games for Tennessee starting with Florida, an open date and then LSU and Alabama. Florida already has a loss in the SEC to Kentucky two weeks ago. The Gators have to avoid digging themselves even lower in the division standings in coach Billy Napier's first season.

KEY MATCHUP

Tennessee defensive ends Byron Young and Tyler Baron must seal the edges to contain Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson. The Gators quarterback rushed for 106 yards in a win over then-No. 7 Utah, but struggled with just four yards in the loss to then-No. 20 Kentucky. Quarterbacks have struggled to run against the Vols’ defense through the first three games.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Florida: RB Montrell Johnson Jr. He has rushed for 240 yards and two touchdowns this season and is a big part of a Gators run offense that averages 212 yards a game.

Tennessee: RB Jaylen Wright. Jabari Small hurt his right arm on the second snap of the Vols' win over Akron, and Wright ran for 96 yards and two TDs. Being able to run is a big key to the Vols’ tempo offense's success, and Tennessee averages 182.3 yards rushing per game.
