Checker Neyland returns this weekend for Tennessee-Florida

It’s back.

Just it happened in 2022, Tennessee will once again ‘Checker Neyland’ for Saturday’s game against the Florida Gators. Tennessee made the announcement on Monday afternoon.

This will be the eighth time that Tennessee has pulled off Checker Neyland, which last happened last season against Texas A&M. Before that it was Florida suffering a 38-33 loss in front of a Checker Neyland crowd.

Tennessee, now ranked No. 8 in the country, will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Arkansas last weekend. It’s a must win game for the Vols, who now don’t have a lot of room for error with Alabama and Georgia still remaining on the schedule.

Tennessee has won twice in the last eight tries against the Gators, going 2-2 in their last four Florida matchups at Neyland Stadium.

The Volunteers are 15 point favorites on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
