Florida has Tennessee's number again

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — There was a different quarterback taking snaps for Florida and a new coach on Tennessee's sideline. The result was still the same.

The 10th-ranked Gators beat the Volunteers 31-17 on Saturday for their sixth consecutive win in the 40-game series between bitter Southeastern Conference rivals. It's the first time they've won three straight in Knoxville after having chances to do so in 1990, 1998 and 2004.

"I'm very proud of our guys to come on the road and win in the SEC," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "That's something we'll never take for granted."
