Let him play. Florida has been the most disrespected team in the country all offseason, and everyone is about to find out next Thursday.

We will see I guess. The line did go from -4.5 to -7 after that was released though.

It will be back to +9.5 like it was before fall camp.

I like the Gators +9.5 a lot. Heck, I'll take the Gators +1.

This afternoon: "Whittingham said he isn't elaborating on the depth chart, specifically on Cam Rising or Brant Kuithe. Won't mention whether they've been cleared or not."

I noticed they released a “season” depth chart

Not game 1

Gators Depth Chart

I guess Kahleil Jackson held off the true freshmen for a starting WR position. Boardingham must be a poor blocker getting buried on the depth chart like that. Livingston I guess is our only hope for a TE to do much as a pass catcher.

7 of our starters are transfers. That must be up there with the highest number in the SEC.

Napier hit a home run last year, some of our best players were transfers. I hope this year is more of the same.

Pretty surprised to see Jordan Castell starting. I mean I like it, because it shows Napier will play young guys who prove themselves. It is a little worrisome that Kamari or Moten couldn't take that spot. It also makes me a little worried about whether Kamari was overhyped as a recruit, since he couldn't beat out a freshmen or a much lower ranked player in Miguel Mitchell. That room in general makes me concerned due to our need to be aggressive in rushing the passer and playing more man on the outside.

Also a little surprised we don't have any of the freshmen in the WR position listed with Khaleil Jackson. I am a little less concerned because WR in particular will probably have a lot of rotation.

Some people are saying Wilson is too slow and they want him to switch to LB. Crazy if true with him being ranked that high.

Utah fans back to Rising unlikely to play and 50/50 whether that TE does.

I'd be surprised if Rising plays.

Probably wasn't going to in the first place, but Whittingham probably keeping it a mystery to throw off our game prep.

I don’t know how much it impacts the game prep. Either way, Armstrong is going to be aggressive defensively.

Talk about things changing. If our starting center is out only 4 of the 22 starters from last season's Utah game will be starting this game.

How we feeling about tomorrow boys? Haven’t kept up but kind of expect to take a step back on the offense side of the ball. Hows the D looking?

I am worried about the offense in this first game. We know Utah will prioritize stopping our running game. Not sure what to expect out of the defense but the D line should be better than last season I would think.

I've never been more unsure of what we're going to see from a Gator Football team as I am now.

I want to believe in Napier, and I mostly do, but I am not sure how much progress he's been able to make from the nuclear tire fire that Mullen left behind.
