Florida's Wilson guarantees victory over Volunteers, calls them 'ducks'

Jeff Blake / USA TODAY Sports

Florida defensive back Quincy Wilson is very confident heading into Saturday's matchup against No. 14 Tennessee, going so far as to guarantee victory over the Volunteers.

Wilson did not stop there, however, for not only did he guarantee victory, but he referred to Tennessee as 'ducks,' according to Thomas Goldkamp of GoVols247.

"We have a message from DBU ('defensive back university') to Tennessee," Wilson said. "Have you ever seen a duck pull a truck? Ducks don't pull trucks. Nobody has ever seen a duck pull a truck. Florida Gators are going to win, simple as that."

Even Wilson's odd choice of analogy could not bury the underlying claim that the Gators will take this week's matchup against the Volunteers, which would make it the 12th consecutive victory for Florida over Tennessee. Florida is ranked No. 19 heading into the game, with both teams maintaining 3-0 records.

"Yeah, we're going to go out there and play Gator football and win," Wilson said. "I know what type of players we have on our team. I know what everybody can do, what we show in practice, how hard we go. I know that we can't be stopped."
