HOW THEY SCORED

-

GAINESVILL­E, Fla. — Staff writer David Cobb examines the scoring drives from Tennessee’s 26-20 loss to Florida on Saturday:

FIRST QUARTER

FL — Eddy Pineiro 27-yard field goal, 7:39

Drive: 15 plays, 65 yards, 7:21 Key play: Consecutiv­e false-start penalties by Florida forced the Gators into a first-and-20 and slowed the momentum of their opening drive that ate over half the first-quarter clock.

FLORIDA 3, TENNESSEE 0

SECOND QUARTER

FL — Pineiro 41-yard field goal, 8:11 Drive: 7 plays, 32 yards, 3:46 Key play: A 16-yard run up the middle by Mark Thompson on third-and-23 put Florida back in field-goal range after Darrell Taylor sacked Gators quarterbac­k Feleipe Franks for a 15-yard loss on the previous play.

FLORIDA 6, TENNESSEE 0

TN — Brent Cimaglia 51-yard field goal, 2:58

Drive: 12 plays, 42 yards, 5:13 Key play: The Vols were in danger of going three-and-out for a third consecutiv­e series when quarterbac­k Quinten Dormady found freshman receiver Josh Palmer in tight coverage for an 11-yard completion to keep the drive alive.

FOURTH QUARTER

FL — C.J. Henderson 16-yard intercepti­on return (Pineiro kick), 14:23 Key play: Tennessee faced thirdand-11 from its own 7-yard line when Dormady tried to find his favorite receiver, Marquez Callaway.

TN — John Kelly 34-yard run (Aaron Medley kick), 8:36 Drive: 5 plays, 80 yards, 2;09 Key play: Kelly began the drive in similar fashion to how he ended it.

Drive: 8 plays, 31 yards, 3:07 Key play: A 10-yard completion to redshirt freshman tight end Austin Pope helped the Vols get into field-goal range.
