2. Silencing the Swamp

The atmosphere in the Swamp on Saturday night will be electric, and there’s no doubt about it. So, it will come down to how quickly the Vols can silence the Swamp and not let them get any hope.

Last year at LSU was a similar game to this one, and LSU was even tougher of a matchup than the Gators this year. Still, the Vols killed the crowd from the opening kickoff and got off to an extremely fast lead. If the Vols can do this on Saturday and take out the Gators’ No. 1 X-factor, the road to victory becomes much more manageable.

There will be moments throughout the game where Florida gains momentum, but if the Vols can stay composed and weather the storm, they have a good shot at winning.
