Harris is still out there at right guard, while George Jr. is at right tackle.

Florida has not been able to protect Mertz today. Two rough hits in the first half and now a sack fumble.

 

[Chris Will]

Things getting messy early. Charlotte recovers the fumble with a chance to make it a one-score game.

Mertz fumbles the ball away. That was Barber giving up the pressure.

Keep an eye on OL Austin Barber. Seemed to run to the line with a limp.

Johnson, out of the Wildcat, with the first down.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

On one hand, UF still has two offensive line starters out. On the other, it's Charlotte. There's still not much movement up front so far.

 

[Joseph Torviso]

Mertz was furious after the play. Ripped off his helmet strap as he jogged to the sideline.

 

[Mark Wheeler]

Smack is the POTG as UF goes up 19-7.

Gators are now 1-6 on third down.

What has been Florida's strength in the run game has surprisingly struggled so far. Florida has tried to run the ball 22 times for just 77 yards. With the longest run of the day being just 13 yards.
