I think the point spread and over/under depend on if we get the loose Arch or the tight Arch. The D will hold Florida to 10 or fewer points. A loose Arch will score over 24 points while a tight Arch will struggle to get to 20. Penalties and turnovers could decide this game.

CJ Vogel:

"Florida without 2 preseason starters in their secondary with one of the worst pass rushes in the country is not being talked about enough imo"

I thought Wisner was healthy and practicing. I'm really getting tired of the BS Sark throws out there. He doesn't give a damn about the fans.

Seems like this team may spend the entire season on crutches. This is ridiculous. Might as well just give up on some of these guys ever helping out.

I think you'll see this list change as we get closer to game day. This is strategic.

Baxter is really the only one I"m concerned about.
