Florida Gators defensive back Tre'Vez Johnson gave the Tennessee Vols plenty of motivation this week.

Specifically, Johnson gave Tennessee's wide receivers some motivation.

On Monday, a reporter told Johnson that one of Tennessee's assistants said the Vols have the best wide receivers in the nation. He then asked the former three-star recruit how he felt about that statement.

"If that's how he feels, that how he feels," said Johnson. "We going to see on Saturday. We're going to see on Saturday."

"I don't think I view it as a challenge," added Johnson in a response to Tennessee's high-powered offense. "They gotta come play us like we gotta come play them. I love our secondary. We have a bunch of vets in the secondary. Even the younger guys have experience. I love us."

The Vols are currently averaging 52.0 points per game (No. 4 in the nation). Johnson may not view it as a challenge, but Tennessee will be looking to ruin his afternoon by putting a lot of points on the board.

Tennessee's wide receivers shouldn't need any added motivation for this game. But Johnson gave them some if they happen to need it.
