GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Gators have a bye week, and according to head coach Will Muschamp, they need it.
Florida travels to Neyland Stadium next Saturday for an SEC East showdown against Tennessee. The Vols have lost nine consecutive games to the Gators and appear to be improving under second-year head coach Butch Jones.
Improvement was the focus this week for the Gators, who will have the weekend off after a Friday weight-training session. Florida is searching for improvement offensively and defensively after its 42-21 loss at No. 3-ranked Alabama.
