If Chris Leak is a major concern for Tennessee going into Saturday night's showdown at Florida, C.J. Leak is at least a minor one.

Chris is Florida's junior quarterback, the trigger man on the Gators' new spread offense that will test UT's defense in an 8 p.m. (WVLT-TV) SEC opener for both schools in Gainesville.

His older brother C.J. is the former Vols quarterback who is an administrative aide for the Gators. C.J. played minimally at Tennessee, but he sat in a lot of meetings and attended a lot of practices.

"He was a good note-taker,'' UT coach Phillip Fulmer said Sunday night. "I'm sure he still has every note.

"And I'm sure he knows a lot about our offense and signals and system and how we go about things. It's something we'll have to address and there are a lot of ways to do that.''

The No. 5 Vols (1-0) will be trying to beat the No. 6 Gators (2-0) for the fourth time in five years.

While this will be a very different Florida team because of new coach Urban Meyer's innovative offense, Tennessee's scheme has changed little if at all from C.J. Leak's tenure (2001-04).

"(Florida having) The playbook wouldn't make that much difference,'' Fulmer said. "This day and age, there's not a lot people don't know with all the films that are exchanged.

"It's things like signals and communication at the line that you have to be aware of. But it's not something we're going to worry about too much.

"And we have made adjustments to that as we've gone through two-a-days camp.''

One method is disguising communication from the sideline to the huddle by having more than one person flashing signs, some of which would be decoys.

"We could have two or three guys signaling,'' Fulmer said. "We're fortunate to have two or three guys who can signal now, so nobody gets a bead on what you're doing.

"It can be a distraction if you're not careful. You're trying to figure out what the other guy is doing and forget what you're doing.''

Film Study: UT has watched volumes of videotape of Utah last year to bone up on Meyer's spread-the-field offensive scheme. Fulmer said the closest a previous UT opponent has come to it is Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl (1996) and Clemson in the Peach Bowl (2003).

"They had some pieces of it,'' Fulmer said. "What it (Florida) has done is do a good job of putting all the pieces together.

"The ability to run zone option and misdirection nakeds, then you complicate it with the ability to throw the football so well downfield and the great talent at quarterback and wide receiver, as well as running back, it's tough.''

Rough Double: With Florida ranked No. 6 and LSU at No. 3 going into an open date, Tennessee is about to play top-10 opponents on the road on consecutive weeks for the first time ever. In 1964, the Vols played LSU and Georgia Tech on the road when each was ranked No. 7. However, there was an open date between the games.

Gandy Ready: Fulmer said center Richie Gandy should be able to play at Florida, but it's not clear yet how much. Gandy missed the UAB game due to a preseason knee injury.

Three Vols dinged up in the opener also should be ready: Jason Mitchell, Ramon Foster and Robert Meachem.

Safety Corey Campbell also returns from a one-game suspension. Robert Ayers, Daniel Brooks and Tony McDaniel remain suspended for the Florida game.
