Former Brisbane forward Brad Meyers is firmly behind his other old NRL club Gold Coast in Fridays elimination final at Suncorp Stadium.The former Queensland and Australian representatives heart lies clearly with the Titans despite making more than 100 first-grade appearances from 2001-04 for the Broncos.A foundation player when Gold Coast entered the competition in 2007, Meyers was a member of the last Titans team to reach the finals in 2010.The 36-year-old joined ex-Titans teammates Anthony Laffranchi, Mat Rogers, Preston Campbell, Clinton Toopi and Ash Harrison in a reunion on Wednesday at CBUS Super Stadium in the build-up to Fridays derby.Meyers says the bond forged in that time outweighs any lingering passions he holds for the Broncos.Its been too long for Brissie; Im leaning more towards the Titans in this one, Meyers told AAP.Its always come down to the wire (between Titans and Broncos). They dont have Locky (Darren Lockyer) there to sink us again.Itll be a really good game - looking forward to it.The Titans only just limped into the finals after the Wests Tigers heavy loss to Canberra last weekend ensured they finished eighth on the ladder.But Meyers says the team have done enough to prove themselves worthy of a finals position and sees no reason why they cant cause an upset.Theyve got guys there that want to win, he said.They never shut off. Theyre pushing teams right to the end. You can see that with some of the results theyve got.Im looking forward to Friday night and watching them - fingers crossed they get up. Air Max 720 Italia .

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee doesnt believe Florida holds any sort of mental edge whenever these two teams stage their annual matchup.Recent history suggests otherwise.No. 19 Florida (3-0, 1-0 SEC) has beaten No. 14 Tennessee (3-0, 0-0) each of the last 11 years. Three times in the last four years, Tennessee was favored in the days leading up to the game but still found a way to lose. Tennessee is favored again in Saturdays meeting at Neyland Stadium, though the spread has dropped from 10 points to 6 +.Weve got a bunch of confident guys on our team, Tennessee defensive tackle Kendal Vickers said. I dont think theres any mental edge anywhere.Each of the last two seasons, Florida has come from behind in the fourth quarter to beat Tennessee by a single point. The Gators won 10-9 in 2014 and 28-27 last year .To end the streak, Tennessee must find a way to move the ball against a Florida team that leads the nation in total defense and scoring defense.Gators cornerback Quincy Wilson boldly predicted a Florida victory by saying that nobody has ever seen a duck pull a truck. Florida Gators are going to win, simple as that.Its just something that we have instilled in us here at Florida that we just dont lose to Tennessee, Florida running back Jordan Scarlett said.Tennessee has reason to believe it could end the streak this year.Florida must turn to backup quarterback Austin Appleby for Saturdays game after usual starter Luke Del Rio injured his left kn ee last week in a 32-0 victory over North Texas. Tennessee has its own injury issues with cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. sidelined by ankle injuries.Tennessee has won nine straight games over the last two years. Tennessee coach Butch Jones believes his team gained strength in coming from behind to beat Appalachian State and Virginia Tech and by withstanding injuries to defeat Ohio .Our team is very confident, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. You dont win nine games in a row by not having confidence. Weve suffered some adversity. A lot of the adversity, some of it we created for ourselves. But I think thats healthy because our football team could have quit under some adverse situations, and theyve never blinked.---Some thinggs to watch when Tennessee hosts Florida.ddddddddddddWELCOME BACK: Florida should have its leading receiver back for this game, as Antonio Callaway has returned to practice after missing the North Texas game with a deep thigh bruise. Tennessee offensive tackle Chance Hall likely will make his first appearance of the season Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last month.FLORIDA PASS RUSH: Florida has 16 sacks to lead all Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Five different Gators have recorded at least two sacks each. Tennessee gave up three sacks against Ohio last week and has struggled to come up with the right combination of five linemen to have on the field.CONTAINING DOBBS: Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs only threw for 87 yards against Florida last season, but he also rushed for 136 yards and had a 58-yard touchdown catch. We know how much of a threat he is and how much he can hurt you if you allow him to, Florida linebacker Jarrad Davis said. Last year he put a hurting on us pretty bad.ANOTHER BACKUP QB: Appleby, a graduate transfer from Purdue, will try to continue a recent tradition in this rivalry. Two of the last three years, a backup quarterback has helped Florida beat Tennessee. Tyler Murphy replaced an injured Jeff Driskel and led Florida to a 31-17 triumph in 2013 . Treon Harris took over for an ineffective Driskel and rallied the Gators in 2014.FAMILY CONNECTIONS: Tennessee defensive coordinator Bob Shoop is the brother of John Shoop, who worked with Appleby as Purdues offensive coordinator in 2013-15. Shoop acknowledged he had spoken to his brother this week and heard the former Purdue assistants impressions of the 6-foot-4 Appleby. My brother gave him a tremendous compliment, he compared (Appleby) to Ben Roethlisberger in the pocket, Shoop said. He said (Applebys) a big, strong kid. Were very well aware of that. You get him in the pocket, hes got people hanging on his body and can throw the ball.---AP Sports Writer Mark Long in Gainesville, Florida contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
