Tennessee was already shaken by its opponent in Week 1, having to survive Appalachian State in overtime. CBS Sports inadvertently made Vols coach Butch Jones aware of his Week 4 opponent during an interview.

The Vols have lost 11 straight to the Gators, so this may seem silly to some, but it’s a sensitive topic around Rocky Top. Tennessee faces Virginia Tech at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 10, then faces Ohio on Sept. 17 before hosting Florida on Sept. 24.
