Josh Heupel apologizes to Billy Napier as they shake hands after #Gators 29-16 win.#Vols had to come back out of the locker room to take a knee on final play of the game.

Big, big, big win for the Gators.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) September 17, 2023
Tennessee … what was that?
What the hell is going on in The Swamp. The Heupel timeout set up this garbage.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) September 17, 2023
No need for the late timeout from Tennessee
— Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsESPN) September 17, 2023
No need for the horrible personal foul cheap shot at the end of the game.
Just a brutal night for the Vols in the Swamp.
Been coming to the Swamp since the mid 80s, and there were times over the last few years that it lost its teeth. But this place sounds like the Swamp used to sound — loud, rowdy and suffocating for the opponent. Tennessee did not respond in any facet.

Game over. The biggest, most important, win of the Billy Napier era as Florida knocks off a ranked, rival on national TV in a stadium full of prospects.

— Weiss (@ZackaryWeiss_) September 17, 2023
This is an interesting moment for Josh Heupel. After two very good years at UCF, there was a clear decline in Year 3. In Year 3 at Tennessee, the Vols’ offense hasn’t been anywhere close to what it was last year. Correlation or coincidence?
