After rolling over their first two opponents, top-ranked Florida and No. 2 Nebraska get their first tests of the season Saturday.

The Gators visit No. 15 Tennessee, while the Cornhuskers are home against No. 13 UCLA.Florida averaged 600 yards and 71.5 points against New Mexico State and Kentucky, but nobody expects another rout at Knoxville.

It doesn't get any tougher than playing before 92,000 screaming fans at Neyland Stadium, but Florida won't be intimidated . . . FLORIDA 31-24.

After beating West Virginia and Texas Tech by a combined score of 73-16, Nebraska faces a UCLA team that struggled to beat lowly SMU 17-10 last week.

UCLA All-American J.J. Stokes missed that game with a bruised thigh, but the receiver is expected to play against Nebraska . . . NEBRASKA 35-21.
