Volquest 2-Minute Drill: Florida pregame

Tennessee will be back in action on Saturday night as they take on Florida. Before the game, Volquest delivered the 2-Minute Drill.

Tennessee wide receivers Squirrel White, Bru McCoy and Dont’e Thornton are all good to go after leaving the field last Saturday night with injuries. Starting defensive back the Christian Harrison is also good to go against the Gators.

Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) got off to an undefeated start through four games, but was upset 19-14 last week by Arkansas. Florida (3-2, 1-1) has won two straight after a 1-2 start winning 45-28 at Mississippi State on September 21 and beating Central Florida 24-13 last week at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. 

The Gators lost 33-20 at home to Texas A&M on September 14 and opened the season with a 41-17 home loss to Miami on August 31. Florida beat Samford 45-7 at home in Week 2.

SEC Injury Reports

The SEC in August announced “availability reports” for football, basketball and baseball.

“This availability reporting policy is intended to reduce pressure from outside entities seeking participation information,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, “and represents a commitment of our 16 institutions to provide enhanced transparency to support efforts to protect our student-athletes and the integrity of competition.”

Players will be listed as available, probable, questionable, doubtful or out for their next game. On game day the updates will include available, game-time decision or out.

Schools of who fail to provide accurate and timely availability reports will be subject to penalties from $25,000, for first-time offenders, to $100,000 for “third and further” offenses in football. Men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball fines will be between.
