Must-Win Game 3: vs Florida

Tennessee's game against Florida comes between a road trip to Arkansas and the Third Saturday in October. While Florida doesn't have high expectations, this has trap game potential if the Vols overlook the Gators and look ahead to Alabama. 

Florida almost completed the comeback at the end of the game two years ago in Neyland and bested the Vols in the swamp last season, so this has to be a must-win game for the Vols this season. 

If Tennessee can win the two biggest early season tests and take down one of their biggest SEC rivals before the Alabama game, the Vols should be set to make the College Football Playoff and have one of the best seasons of the Heupel era.
