All week Coach Meyer was preaching “If we want to go win this game, let’s not say, ‘Hey, let’s go beat Tennessee,’” Meyer said. “You better play great defense that day. You better have toughness and you better take care of the football or there’s no chance of winning that game.” Well, the Gators did just that.

The Florida Gators routed the Tennessee Vols in a 30-6 road victory. Percy Harvin contributed to the victory with 6 carries for 31 yards and 2 receptions for 49 yards… plus one touchdown. While 49 yards receiving may not seem like a lot, it was actually half of the Gators entire passing offense.

I may have predicted a 100-100 yard game for Percy Harvin, but that may have been a little unrealistic. Tennessee is not a push-over team. Racking up monster stats against them would have been tough. Florida played well on special teams and defense, and thanks to an early lead the Gators were able to play ball control offense. I have a feeling the monster stats won’t be coming as much this year because Florida won’t be playing catch-up to teams like they were last year.

Percy was able to play great and came out healthy. He was involved in a lot of offensive plays and should be 100% ready for Ole Miss this week.
