8. Don’t get rattled by Florida
UT’s done a pretty good job of not taking the bait over the course of the offseason as Florida doubled down on trash talk via social media and comments to the media. But don’t expect the talk to stop once the Gators hit the field. Mouths will certainly still be running, and while it’s ok to respond to some of it, UT can’t get caught up in a mental game with Florida. The Vols must focus on execution – not trying to send a message to a single player.
