Florida has the right to say things like this until #Vols do something about it. https://t.co/7KCrH9VdRy

Davis has never shied away from taking jabs at Tennessee. In 2014, he claimed then-freshman standout Jalen Hurd “couldn’t hang” with the Gators.
Teammate Jalen Tabor has also been outspoken against the growing hype surrounding Tennessee, most recently claiming Florida would extend its winning streak to “12 in a row against the Vols” during his personal media day Q&A session on Periscope.
Tennessee will host Florida on Sept. 24 at Neyland Stadium.
