The no. 1 team Florida, currently 2 - 0 going to be playing host to Tennessee, currently 1 - 1 this upcoming weekend. Fueled by Lane Kiffin's feelings and words about the upcoming game, the game has a lot of considerable hype surrounding it and it is going to be adding a brand new chapter to this rivalry which was already quite intense before. Moments after Florida defeated Troy with 56 to 6 on Saturday, the players and the coaches of the Florida Gators immediately shifted all of their attention to the Tennessee Volunteers.

The season is beginning now for real, according to the senior receiver, David Nelson.

Although the season started a couple of games ago, this is the match up that the UF Gators have been waiting for, and there is no doubt that Tennessee is just as riled up about this upcoming match up.

The build up that has been coming for Saturday's game at 3:30 against Tennessee actually seems to have began a long time ago.

Kiffin has seemingly made it his top priority to tease, to infuriate and to one-up the coach of the Florida Gators, Urban Meyer and his team. He has been making headlines right and left by making comments and taking actions that turned this rivalry into something much more serious than it ever was before. He even tried to take Billy Gonzales away from Urban Meyer, but Meyer managed to retain his most loyal assistant.

Tennessee has even created a billboard in Broward County. Both Tennessee were working on recruiting top players in that area. What did the billboard say? Simply, "It's time", and it certainly is time, isn't it?

Tim Tebow even commented that there is something different there now when they play against Tennessee, ever since this rivalry took a much more serious turn. Meyer plans on keeping his team focused in the days before the game through more difficult practice. Offensive lineman James Wilson for UF says that the rivalry is motivating the team, and they are simply counting down the days until they can go up against Tennessee. So much so that they have a sign in their weight room denoting how many days are remaining until Tennessee.

What impact is this rivalry going to have on the upcoming game? Tennessee seems to be motivated by the rivalry, but UF has something else on their side: Two epic wins and a 2 - 0 record that puts them at the top of the scoreboard in many ways. Are these teams ready to finally put Kiffin's words on the line, challenging his threats once and for all?

This is definitely going to be an interesting game. The season starts now, it seems.

The Florida Gators are definitely expecting a bigger challenge this week from the Troy Trojans.

On Monday, Florida's coach, Urban Meyer, said that the Gators are preparing themselves for what is likely to be a much tougher contest this week against the Troy Trojans, at least in comparison to their recent win over Charleston Southern, which was a 62 to 3 win last week. The Trojans, who are currently sitting at 0 and 1 are coming off of a loss to Bowling Green, 31 to 14. Meyer still said that the caliber of skill and talent involved here is going to be significantly higher.

The Gators managed to defeat the Troy Trojans back in 2007 with 59 to 37. While Florida is currently boasting a roster that is filled to the brim with veterans on both sides, in the opener last week there are eight Trojans that just finally made their first college start, and 22 players who were just playing their very first game.

The senior return specialist, who is Brandon James, was just recently named as being the co special teams player for the week by the SEC on Monday. He had played an 85 yard long kickoff return with a touchdown, and had 123 all purpose yards. He got to share this special honor with the Arkansas sophomore player Dennis Johnson, who managed a kickoff return for 91 yards.

With a brand new offensive coordinator, who is Steve Addazio, and two brand new coaches who are calling plays from above, Brian White the TE coach and Scot Loeffler the QB coach, the Gators got to use Saturday's game as something of a testing ground for all of these new responsibilities. According to quarterback Tim Tebow, it was definitely different, but there was some really good communication with the new coaches.

Tim Tebow is remaining in touch with the former offensive coordinator, Dan Mullen, who is now the coach for Mississippi state. Apparently they are still text messaging back and forth, and Mullen wished Tebow luck on the game last Friday.

Current Injuries: Brandon Hicks, the LB, recently returned to practice, where he is battling A.J. Jones of Tampa for some playing time. Lawrence Marsh who has an injured ankle is still remaining probably. Carl Johnson, OL, has a bone bruise, and this kept him from practicing on Sunday but he is expected to be back in the game this week. Brendan Beal, an LB, has an injured neck and so his return right now is relatively doubtful, and it is not currently known whether or not he will be returning any time in the next two weeks. Finally, Jelani Jenkins has a reinjured ankle, but it is probable that he will be returning sooner rather than later.
