To know what to know about Florida

The Gators fulfilled their high expectations at the beginning of this season after they made Omaha last season and lost in the semi -finals against Texas A&M.

Florida has only dropped two games this season. They won two out of three games in a series against Miami when they dropped a game during the week the following Tuesday. Florida swept the series against Air Force, Dayton and Harvard and won a matchup of the week against Florida State.

The Friday evening starter Liam Peterson is one of the best pitchers in the conference, while the junior catcher Brody Donay is a monster on the plate and reaches five double and 16 RBIs this season with eight home runs .404. Senior Bobby Bosser is also in the tear to open the season and scored with seven home runs, five doubles and 25 RBIs .328.

What Tony Vitello said about the Gator

About what he knows about Florida

“I know that a few of these young arms were thrown against us last year, and we said:” What to hell? “And then there are also a few players they could, I mean, I haven't seen them much games, but they probably say the same thing:” What does this type do back here? “

“But Sully (Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan) is good in many things, and one thing is only to educate children about the design and maybe their personal circumstances why it could be advantageous. I don't know. Maybe I have to ask him. He has something in front of him where it is a great state to recruit where there are many talents, but there are people who could be easy in the professional ball, the part of their program, and they always had this striking talent, and yet, Sully, I mean, everything you have to do is to see his appearance, and you know what he looks, and how he wants his team to play. So this is for a combination that I have not known in the past two decades where they are, but they had to be among the top 4, minimum. So it is a pretty good combination of talent and approach to the game. “

SEC availability report

forecast

When Texas A&M entered the season, he looked like Tennesses's largest series in the Lindsey Nelson Stadium. But after the Non -Conference slate, Florida looks like the biggest test of the Vols.

We know that Tennessee is really good, but this weekend we will find out a lot more about Vitelless eight voluntary squad when we watch you look at a strong team from Florida. The gators are very capable of coming to Knoxville and winning the weekend series.

My best guess is that Tennessee takes the series but suffers its first loss.

Tennessee wins two out of three
