No. 8 Tennessee earned a 23-17 victory over SEC rival Florida on Saturday night in Knoxville to move to 5-1 on the season.

While the game certainly wasn’t pretty for the Vols, Tennessee survived thanks to a 17-0 second-half run and three touchdowns from running back Dylan Sampson including the game-winner in overtime.

Rocky Top Insider’s Cole Moore was back on the field for the game between the Vols and Gators on Saturday night and captured the biggest moments from the game on camera. Neyland Stadium also presented quite the picturesque scene as Tennessee did their famous Checker Neyland game with the fans.

Here’s a look at RTI’s photos including VFLs, Tennessee Football commits, players, and the fans.
