a big play go to receiver Jackson struggle to get out of the backfield Jesse Palmer the quarterback on second along in a flat and struggling for the pylon was Terry Jackson but they're going to spot him down Doug Johnson the quarterback moving up and his name signals taxing you to the goal line last a football radar cuts and recovers in the endzone for Tennessee first and 10 Tennessee and it's on 20 after the big fumble bite pass batted down nearly a lateral nine turnovers for Florida at 19 penalties in the two games against the Citadel Martin's pass no score busted midway through the first

good and Florida he was successful on its first peel goal attempt of the season when the Gators lead again against Tennessee in the first quarter first time around and Chandler boom wanted to back of the endzone this one returnable from the goal line satis stevens with running room outside and it was the kicker Jeff Chandler who made the tackle they need to establish some kind of rhythm against this Florida defense they try those two and perhaps that's a stylist Jamal Louis the word for Shawn Bryson the full-back and he hands the ball to Grayson two reps three he may go touchdown Tennessee soon before [Music] words of wisdom [Music] 57 yards in Tennessee has the lead at the halls extra point they surge off the ball but on that last play they certainly did Jeff halls kickoff down the

why the Big East feels it's much better this year they're demonstrating that they are a stronger conference Johnson throws pot then drop is that a catch no this last year Florida scored three times on him and third down they got that play off it was just barely Palmer running for his life now there is a flag they pour the snap there was a delay of game on the offense [Applause] he wants those chains to move he's an offensive genius and he wants that ball up and down the field by Johnson flushed from the pocket and dropped no punting situation up in the air even alternating with Josh corn Wasilewski with not a very good punt and it is down at the 34 yard line made a take away and then all of a sudden your offense popped a big play then although is going nowhere Johnny Rutledge was 45 yards rushing in the loss of gain 2-1 in the second half team Eichmann throws not by Shawn Bryson and he's tackled that's the end of the first quarter with the score Tennessee 7 in Florida 3 will

hanger a gift fielded inside his 10 and he weaved out to the 16 yard line on first down some trickery where the handoff went up the middle to Robert Gillespie he's already substituted early in this
