50-yard field goal, giving his team a 30–28 victory. The Gator squad and fans were incensed by both the penalty and the subsequent failure to restart the game clock, feeling that the combination of calls had given the Vols an undeserved chance to win the game. Bobby Moreau, the official who called the penalty on Baker, received death threats after the game. SEC director of officials Bobby Gaston subsequently removed Moreau from working games in Gainesville. 2009: Kiffin versus Meyer Lane Kiffin replaced Phil Fulmer as Tennessee's new head coach before the 2009 season. At his introductory press conference, Kiffin boldly predicted that he would "sing Rocky Top all night" in Gainesville after his team beat Florida the following September. Soon after, he incorrectly accused Florida coach Urban Meyer of breaking recruiting rules over a player that ended up going to Tennessee, sparking a series of public jibes between the coaches that continued all through the off-season and helped to make the 2009 meeting the most anticipated game in the series in several years despite the fact that Gators were ranked No. 1 and the Volunteers were unranked. The game was a relatively uneventful 23–13 Florida win, but the coaches' verbal sparring continued in the post-game press conferences.

Eventually, SEC commissioner Michael Slive publicly warned the coaches to end their war of words, and later sent an official letter of reprimand to Kiffin when he continued to criticize opposing coaches and SEC officials. In January 2010, Kiffin resigned to become the head coach at Southern California, abruptly ending his feud with Meyer after only one season. 2014 – 2017: Comebacks every year Both programs suffered through less successful seasons in the mid-2010s, but while the rivalry faded in national importance, the contests themselves were quite memorable, as four consecutive UF-UT games featured a dramatic fourth quarter rally. 2014: For the first time since 1955, both Florida and Tennessee were unranked coming into their matchup in Knoxville.
