Happy Sunday morning! This is trending sports writer Nick Gray.

The Tennessee Vols got a win they have needed as a program for a while. Tennessee 38, Florida 33.

It's the second win by the Vols over the Gators since 2004. The Vols came into the game as 10.5-point favorites and controlled the game after halftime, even if a late touchdown and onside kick recovered by Florida had Vol fans nervous to the very end.

Tennessee is 4-0 and off next week before a trip to LSU.

Sunday, the Titans need a win badly and not just to earn win No. 1 in 2022. The first two losses were different, but not by too much. Week 1 was a one-point loss where mistakes in all three facets contributed to the lost 13-0 lead. In Week 2, the 41-7 loss to the Bills included a long list of issues in all three facets. Tennessee needs to put something together on Sunday that resembles the last four seasons under Mike Vrabel, win or not.
