The game will kick off at 7:10.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Florida won the toss and deferred.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

I mentioned his mobility in the Breakdown. First down on the first play of the game and Cam Jackson is down on the field.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

That looks close, but they're giving him the first down there.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

FSU wants to shorten this game. Just a slow pace, three yards and a cloud of dust look to it early on.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

What the hell could they be reviewing?

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Strip sack by Sapp brings up third and long.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Florida with the linebacker blitz from Jaden Robinson.

Hell, that really wasn't a blitz but more like Robinson was the quarterback spy.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

How do you negate a punter with a big leg, an even bigger return. Dike has Florida in great field position for their first drive.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

But UF loses 15 yards for a sideline penalty?

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Bryce Lovett is starting at right guard in place of Damieon George Jr.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Terrible throw by Lagway, who can drop the long ball perfectly into place, but has trouble with these short and intermediate passes.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Florida will punt instead of going for it on fourth and one. That 15 yard penalty probably made the decision easier.
