How to watch: Tennessee vs. No. 9 Florida

Tennessee kicks off conference play this weekend against No. 9 Florida in Gainesville. Here's how you can follow along.

Tennessee gets set to begin SEC play with quite the task ahead of them - a matchup with ninth-ranked Florida at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. 

Coming in as heavy underdogs, the Vols have gotten off to quite the rocky start this season. Not only did they drop their first two games at home, they lost to a non-Power 5 team for the first time in three decades. 

Here are ways you can enjoy Tennessee's conference-opener from the safety of your home without making the trip down to Gainesville:

While the Vols have yet to overcome the Gators on the road since 2003, head coach Jeremy Pruitt isn't letting that reality become a distraction for a group that boasts loads of young, inexperienced talent.

In fact, he feels they should be quite accustomed to the style of play on Saturday. 

"I mean it’s the same game that they have played growing up. Obviously, the other crowd will be screaming for the other team," Pruitt said. "You’re traveling, the travel part of it is a little different for them, but it's different now than it was 25 years ago."

Florida has won 13 of its last 14 matchups with Tennessee, including seven consecutive wins in Gainesville. If the Vols are looking to reverse that trend, they'll be in need of more than just luck in a hostile environment. 

Tennessee is led on offense by quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, redshirt senior receiver Jauan Jennings and junior running back Ty Chandler, the latter two of which have gotten off to strong starts this season.

Defensively, the Vols give up nearly 10 more points per game than the Gators, who have given up an average of just 13.7 through three games. 

On the flip side, UT surrenders 58 less yards through the air than Florida, which could bode well for Tennessee's chances given that Feleipe Franks will likely be out for the remainder of the season.
