The spread for this game is game is Tennessee by 11 points.

No. 20 Florida aims to continue its recent dominance of No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday afternoon when the Southeastern Conference rivals meet in Knoxville, Tenn. The Gators (2-1, 0-1) have won five in a row and 16 of their last 17 encounters against the Volunteers (3-0, 0-0), including a decisive 38-14 decision last season.

The Gators tackle their first road game of the season after squeezing out a 31-28 victory over South Florida last Saturday.

Anthony Richardson authored his second straight uneven performance after completing 10 of 18 passes for 112 yards and two interceptions against the Bulls. He was also picked off twice in Florida’s 26-16 loss to SEC-rival Kentucky on Sept. 10.

Richardson resides last among the 14 SEC starting quarterbacks in passing yards (423), completion percentage (53.2) and touchdown passes (zero). Richardson sat out Florida’s 38-14 victory over Tennessee last season with a strained right hamstring.

The Volunteers likely have no qualms about their quarterback Hendon Hooker, who completed 14 of 18 passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns in a 63-6 romp over visiting Akron last Saturday. Hooker, who received an early exit versus the Zips due to the lopsided score, also threw for two touchdowns in last season’s setback to the Gators.

Jalin Hyatt reeled in both scoring strikes and rolled up a career-high 166 receiving yards for the Volunteers, who have started the season 3-0 for the first time since winning their first five games in 2016.
