The Gators are set to square off against SEC East rival Tennessee on Saturday in their first divisional game of the year.

The Vols are equipped with a 2-1 record but have quite a few question marks on both sides of the ball. Their two wins came against teams that were far inferior, with the loss coming against the lone Power Five school they have played this year in Pittsburgh.

If Tennessee is going to be able to pull off the upset in the Swamp, they will need to get major contributions from some key players. Gators Territory breaks down who we think those players might be.

Hooker, the Virginia Tech transfer, didn’t start out the season as the starter but looks to have stepped up and into that role with his play over the first three weeks of the season.

He leads the Volunteers in passing with 392 yards through the air and has completed passes at a 70.2 percent clip. He has accounted for five touchdowns and just one interception so far on the year. He is also a very capable runner, checking in as the team's third leading rusher with 113 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.

Hooker has been impressively accurate thus far in the season and much better than Joe Milton, who was named the starter to open the season. Tennessee hasn’t announced who will start against the Gators, although it should be Hooker. If he doesn’t start, he will see the field at some point.

Jackson is a fifth-year COVID senior who is the veteran leader of the Vols' defense at safety. He leads Tennessee in almost all major defensive categories, racking up 25 tackles that includes six tackles for loss and one and a half sacks. He also has four passes deflected but has yet to record an interception.

He plays in the box a lot, which explains why he is the team leader in tackles. Emory Jones has thrown at least one interception in every game this year, and Jackson is certainly someone who will be looking to take advantage of any opportunity presented to force a turnover.

The sixth-year senior is a dynamic pass catcher, although his numbers for this season haven’t really reflected that. He is also able to get the ball in his hands as a returner for the Vols.

Jones leads the team in receiving yards with six catches on the year for 96 yards and a touchdown. He has also returned seven kicks and three punts for an average of 28.1 yards and 10.7 yards per return, respectively. Velus will be looking to make a big play whenever the ball is in his hands to spark something for Tennessee.

Evans is a junior-college transfer who has taken over the starting running back spot for the Volunteers. He leads the team in carries and yards with 31 carries for 157 yards for a solid 5.1 yards per carry and two touchdowns.

He is not much of a receiving threat, having only caught the ball one time on the season for three yards but is a load to bring down in the run game. At 5-foot-11 220 pounds, Evans can run through arm tackles and shows some good wiggle to make defenders miss in the open field.

Two quarterbacks seem to be very common in college football this year, whether it’s because teams are still trying to find out who the guy is going forward or if they truly want to run a two-QB system. I think it’s the former for the Vols.

Milton had a solid opening week performance but then didn’t look so hot against Pitt. Still, the Vols haven’t announced a starter for the Florida game, so Milton has to be on this list. He is second on the team in passing yards with 190 yards on a modest 51.4 percent completion percentage for one touchdown and no interceptions to this point in the season. He’s also run the ball 19 times for a total of 98 yards and two touchdowns.

Milton’s arm talent is undeniable, but his decision making has been questionable. If he gets the nod, Tennessee will need all of that arm talent and for him to make better decisions in hopes of trying to pull off the upset.
