Josh Heupel addresses Tennessee’s lopsided recent history against Florida

Josh Heupel is aware of Tennessee’s recent history with Florida, but is not concerned with how it may affect this week’s game in Knoxville.
“I don’t believe that,” Heupel said of the current Vols inheriting a psychological hurdle. “Each week is different, each day is different, each season is. For us, we’re however many months into our program here right now. Our kids are extremely confident as they should be. They’ve prepared the right way, they’ve worked hard, we continue to grow. They know that preparation’s going to be the most important thing.”
Florida has won 5 straight games in the series, and leads the all-time series 31-20. Tennessee’s last win came in 2016, and the last time the Vols won 2 straight was 2003 and 2004 when Phillip Fulmer and Ron Zook were the coaches.
“It’s going to be a great atmosphere, we’ve got to be able to control our emotions through the course of the football game, but compete, and not go up and down during the course of the game,” Heupel said.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
