WATCH: Florida RB Lamical Perine previews rivalry game with Tennessee
The Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers have one of the fiercest rivalries in the SEC East, and they’ll renew that rivalry under the Neyland Stadium lights on Saturday.
Ahead of the game, the Gators are trying to prepare themselves for the intensity of the Vols’ home stadium.
As you can see in the video below, RB Lamical Perine describes the importance of the game for the Gators:

“It’s a rivalry game, a game I think everybody’s looking forward to,” he says. “It’s a very loud crowd, man. It’s something you’ve got to adapt to, so we’ve had a lot of crowd noise on everyday (at practice).”
Perine will have to play a bigger role this week, as fellow RB Malik Davis is out with a broken foot.
Tune in to Saturday night’s game at 7 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
