Mizzou Tigers Week 6 Opponent Preview: Florida Gators

Missouri will travel east to take on the Florida Gators in Gainesville in Week 6

Coming off of heartbreaking losses to both Auburn and the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs, the Missouri Tigers will have their hands full yet again on Saturday when they travel to Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators in the Swamp.

The Gators will are led by new head coach Billy Napier, who is off to a rough 0-2 start in SEC play as well.

Luckily for Napier, who is an offensive-minded head coach, he still has elite quarterback talent at his disposal in Anthony Richardson, who despite not having a wealth of experience behind him, already holds a first-round talent projection.

Can the Tigers bounce back from their tough losses and take down the Gators?
