Why has Florida dominated Tennessee so badly?

The Crocs are 27-7 vs the Vols since 1976. By comparison, they are 39-5 against Kentucky and 22-6 vs SCar. Fulmer coached many more future pro contributors than Spurrier I'd reckon. Tennessee has been rough since 2007, but Florida has some patches in that span as well so you'd think UT would've picked up a few W's but no

Fun fact, Tennessee and Florida each have infinitely more national championships than Georgia in the past 40 years

Spurrier owner Fulmer and Chavis, and VOLS were owned by everyone from 08-18.
Even though Florida was pretty fricking awful this past decade, VOLS were always worse.

You're living up to his retard comment. Either you aren't smart enough to count to 40 or you don't know what infinitely means.

Come back when you win a Natty title in modern football. Modern meaning when it was determined by the AP poll.

They own our asses, no doubt about it
At our program's zenith in the late 1990s, we always felt the Gators had the best of us

Tennessee struggles against teams from more refined East states like Florida and Missouri

Lots of unfortunate bounces in that series. Most of the games in that series (the series didn't really start until the 90s) have been ones that either team could've won. However, Florida has certainly been on favorable end of most of them.

One word: coaching. Florida has had the better lineup of coaches over that period.

Florida has dominated the line of scrimmage.
Tennessee single handedly put Alex Brown in the Florida Athletic Hall of Fame.

Florida had better coaching than the vols.

Its odd this ownership isnt a bigger deal when people discuss that game.

To me it seems like most times that UF goes into that game we have a more experienced QB (not necessarily better) while UT is always breaking in someone new or just plain bad.
Also seems like we have weaknesses that UT can’t take advantage of. For instance when we have a bad oline, UT can’t generate pressure because of a badly developed (sometimes youth) dline.
Also our strengths always seemed to line up against their weaknesses most years. Mainly UFs dline against UTs oline.
UF always seems to have the better coach on that day. UF always seems to win the turnover battle. UF always seems to have elite special teams where as UTs is usually solid to bad.
Lastly UT has some shite luck with injuries either before or during that game. There also has to be a mental hang up too knowing that you have lost 15 of the last 16. That’s the best way I can explain it without getting to heavy into some stats.

I remember watching the 2017 Tennessee-Florida game, seemed like two meh teams going at it and Tennessee pulled even near the end, then they had that coverage breakdown and Franks threw the hail Mary. Turned out both teams were pretty awful, but Tenn made more critical mistakes. That's been their story since like 2004 and it's bizarre how consistent it is to an outside observer since it's not like when they play Bama and you expect them to get handled bc they are overmatched

Let’s look at it from where it started 2005 to now.
05-09 era. UF has the better coach, more talent, better QB
2010 - better coach and more talent
2011-2014 - for whatever reason Muschamp had their number plus they had Butch Jones and Dooley. UF had dominant defenses while UT seemed to have very little to nothing. Maybe a player or 2 here and there but no legit unit. Except for that 2012 UT team. That offense was incredible. I’ve always said if you could combine the 2012 UT offense with the 2012 UF defense then that team would of won the NC.
2015-2017- talent on paper was about even during this era. UT had the better QB in Dobbs too. For whatever reason they always had shite luck with injuries and turnovers during this era. Butch Jones was also god-awful with his in game decisions while he was the HC. I’m pretty sure the game they won during this timeframe UF had a 21-3 lead at halftime but they had a hellacious comeback that could not be stopped.
2018-2019- UF has a bit better talent, UF has the more experienced better coach. Guantanamo has been an unmitigated disaster for them. UT has been really young during this timeframe.
