08:12 AM ET 09.17 | While showing small signs of improvement, Florida's offense has yet to break out. The Gators are just too talented not to get better and will take another step forward in Knoxville, where the reality of Tennessee's situation set in during the second half against Oregon last week. Derek Dooley called out his team for not competing once they fell behind to the Ducks. Let's see how the Volunteers respond this week when they face more adversity.

Yup. No blowout last year. It was a tough game and the Vols played well.

I hope that is the look Meyer gave Rainey. It is ridiculous with all the arrests. At first, I blamed it on the Zooker, I thought Meyer will get the situation fixed. Not any more. Meyer better start suspending kids for longer.

As for the game, I am worried that the Vols will pound the ball down UF's throats like it was 8-10 years ago.

It's not gonna be close. Florida will win by at least 2 touchdowns.

That's because IMO, they had a good coach!

The amount of arrests that have occurred under Meyer's tenure is alarming, but what would interest me more is what Meyer did to the players after they were arrested. To me, its one thing to have a kid mess up here and there (or 30 times, in this case!!!), but how did Urban react to the allegations. While Urban clearly needs to do a better job on the front end to nip it in the bud (my grandmother said that last night) by not allowing questionable characters into the university in the first place as well as provide bettor mentoring and oversight for the duration of the athletes collegiate experience, but at some point the blame has to be partly shifted to the kid. A coach can only do so much. That's why I'm not going to start accepting a label that UF is a 'dirty' program until I see what Meyer did in response... I doubt he would ever take the Masoli route (and not a peep about Ryan Smith!), that had SI giving Ole Miss the 'dirty' program misnomer.
