The Gators are on a brand-new quarterback, multiple starters on the offensive line are banged up, and I’ve been told this is one of Florida’s weakest receiver rooms in a decade.Īssuming there won’t be multiple defensive or special teams touchdowns, I don’t think either offense will churn butter with much success. On the flip side, Florida’s offense isn’t exactly dealing with sunshine and rainbows.
None of us ever believed he was playing despite the dog and pony show from Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. My FOX Sports teammates Chris 'The Bear' Fallica, Geoff Schwartz and I have literally been texting about Rising for what feels like three weeks now. Utah is expected to turn to QB3 Bryson Barnes. The Utes actually opened as a 9-point favorite way back in the summer, but respected money in the market drove Florida from +9 to +4.5 with the expectation that Rising would not be ready. The line and total have teetered back and forth for weeks, and Utah football’s Twitter threw another wrench last Friday by posting a depth chart with Rising listed as QB1. After telling reporters on Pac-12 Media Day he felt good about playing in Utah’s opener, star quarterback Cam Rising is not expected to play tomorrow night.
