Florida vs Samford Game Thread

[Mark Wheeler]

ESPN Analytics has Florida as the overwhelming favorite to win the game.

I hadn't seen a line this week, that happens when you face a FCS program, but the top of the ESPN Gamecast has Florida as a 38.5 point favorite. Will the Gators cover?

Student section and upper bowl still fairly empty...

Gators kicking to start things off.

Florida kicks off into the endzone. Here we go.

Searcy, James, Banks and Jackson starting upfront.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Aaron Gates looked lost before the play started. Funnily enough, he recovered the fumble.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Looks like Jackson out there for Moore again.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

That might be a fumble.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Tripped by his own guy, then Marshall Jr. punched it out.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

The ball was definitely out. Florida will take over.

First Florida True Freshman to start since 2014. That's crazy

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Why is this taking so damn long.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

There they go. UF's ball.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Burke out there with the starters.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Great open field tackle by Xavier Lanier. Montrell was gone

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Spin move by Montrell Johnson Jr. gets Florida to the 27.

Looks like Napier's trying to establish the run game early. Makes sense with a freshman at QB.
