Billy Napier's comments seem to suggest a specific game plan for Florida's matchup against Tennessee

Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier seemingly hinted at his team's likely offensive game plan for this weekend's matchup against the Tennessee Vols.

And the plan shouldn't come as a surprise after what we saw from the Vols in their last two games.

Napier told reporters earlier this week that he hopes the game against Tennessee doesn't turn into a track meet, which seems to suggest that Florida plans to keep the ball away from UT's offense via sustained drives that eat a lot of clock.

"In general, I hope it's not a track meet," said Napier. "But I do think ultimately, when you play Tennessee, you know there's gonna be an element of strategy in regards to keeping up, and how do you do that? I think last year we were able to play complementary football in the game. And I think there is a component to that. Now look, points are a premium. You do what you got to do to score."

It sounds like Florida would love to hit on some explosive plays if they're available, but they aren't going to force it in an attempt to go blow for blow with Tennessee's offense.

And that's certainly a smart approach by the Gators. I don't think Florida can keep up with Tennessee if this game turns into a track meet. The Gators' best chance to win the game is to control the clock, move the chains, and score touchdowns in the red zone. If they can string together a couple of eight minute drives, the amount of times the Vols possess the ball will be dramatically reduced.

Tennessee will have to find a way to force Florida into some three-and-outs. The only way to do that will be to defend the run well (which the Vols have consistently done), eliminate the quarterback running game, tackle well (UT gave up too many critical yards against Arkansas because of some poor tackling), and defend the underneath passes well. If the Vols can excel in those areas, while effectively running the ball on offense, they should be able to leave Neyland with a win on Saturday night.
