Tennessee football’s offense struggled badly again but the Vols did just enough to knock off Florida 23-17 in overtime and improve to 5-1 (2-1 SEC) on Saturday night.

The Gators led 10-0 in the third quarter before Tennessee scored 17 straight points to take the lead. But Florida didn’t go away with DJ Lagway connecting Chimere Dike for a 27-yard touchdown with less than a minute to play.

But Tennessee’s defense pushed Florida’s offense back in overtime and Trey Smack’s 47-yard field goal try missed wide right. Five plays later, Dylan Sampson bowled into the end zone from one-yard out to clinch the win.

Following the game, RTI’s Ric Butler and Ryan Schumpert discussed the Vols’ offensive woes, finding a way to win and much more. Check it out here.
