The Rundown

The Florida Gators return to the field after a three-week stretch between games due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the program. With some rust to shake off given a team-wide quarantine, the Missouri Tigers present problems offensively that could give the Gators fits and make this game closer than it should be.

The Gators are currently 14-point favorites after a week of swaying anywhere between 12.5 to 15 points. However, Missouri has seen freshman quarterback Connor Bazelak throw for 400+ yards in one start and control the clock for over 43 minutes in another, both styles of offensive play being a thorn in UF's side three games into the 2020 season.

With that being said, quarterback Kyle Trask and Co. will need to avoid a slow start, scoring early and often, to prevent Missouri from keeping this contest competitive. If UF can't score quickly and take a lead, it will be hard to trust the SEC's No. 13 defense to come up with a stop that can flip momentum.
