Bottom line - UT can't beat Florida unless they
1. Run the ball, or
2. Get a lot of big plays in the passing game.
The offensive line that UT has coming back has a lot of hype again and talent on paper, and in sacks allowed are awesome, but they haven't been able to run the ball at all against anyone since Dooley has been there.
UF's run defense was at it's worst in a long while last year, and all signs point to it being better in 2012. Combine that with all the experience coming back in the secondary, and I just don't see UT scoring a lot of points.
It was 30-13 in the 4th quarter last year, because Florida owned the LOS, and gave up passing yards but never the big score.
The strategy will be similar in 2012 and unless the UT defense can step up and keep Florida under 20, then this game probably won't be very close. UT's front 7 isn't scaring anyone next year, and UF has it's best offensive line since 2009. That combination should give UF a significant advantage in the running game, which should keep the pressure off of their young QB's.
UF is just a tough match up for UT right now.

Tennessee really had no one with the ability to make a big play last year. Da'Rick is an elite underneath guy who's good for a big play once every weak or so, but eliminating the big play will be much tougher with Hunter who is a big play machine.
