Just after the handoff from Justin Worley, left, Tennessee’s Martin Lane (15) turns upfield while Florida’s Jonathan Bullard (90) slows his pace.KNOXVILLE – The number next to the Florida logo on the Neyland Stadium scoreboard was only so fitting.
It hardly could have been more devastating for the University of Tennessee.
The Gators scored all of their points in the fourth quarter with freshman backup quarterback Treon Harris in the game and won their 10th straight in the series against the Volunteers with a 10-9 SEC victory on Saturday in front of a sold-out, orange-and-white checkerboarded Neyland Stadium.
“It really hurts really bad,” UT cornerback Cam Sutton said. “It’s hard not to get emotional about it, especially our leaving seniors not beating Florida. We can’t continue to leave our season in these games that we’re losing.
“We have a long season left in us, and hopefully we can just win a lot more games and do big things as a team.”
