This is the most humiliating performance from the Florida #Gators football team that can be recalled.
Every position has failed. Can't throw, catch, tackle, kick, punt, receive a kick, cover, rush the passer ... nothing.

Tennessee opens with a nine-play, 75-yard TD drive in which it gained yards on every touch.
#Gators defense basically nonexistent.
The Swamp is loud. Didn't matter.

Shumard oak is a native tree ideal for urban landscapes. It tolerates drought, compacted soils, air pollution and poor drainage. And after providing shade in the summer, its leaves turn a burnished reddish-orange in fall. More on Shumard oak at UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: buff.ly/tgWwvPk
