After giving top-ranked Alabama a scare a week ago, the 11th-ranked Gators were heavy favorites against Tennessee at home on Saturday night.

Florida was a 19-point favorite heading into the game, but the Volunteers have made it interesting and trail just 17-14 at intermission.

Hendon Hooker threw 2 touchdown passes in the first half for Tennessee, and the Vols defense forced a huge fumble late in the 2nd quarter with the Gators driving and looking like they might push the lead to 10 at the half instead of 3.

Instead, Josh Heupel’s team had a chance to tie with a 47-yard FG on the last play of the half but Chase McGrath’s attempt was wide right.

Will Tennessee keep it competitive the rest of the way?

Time will tell, but for now here’s a look at some of the social media reaction to what’s taken place in the first 30 minutes between the Gators and the Volunteers:
