Having spent my four years in Gainesville I will admit the heat absolutely sucks but it's not the gamechanger a lot of southerners think it is. Game is at, what, 7 p.m.? It'll be humid but not especially hot. They get Gatorade on their side, too.

I moved from Arizona to Gainesville in the summer. At the time I was training triathlons.

What I remember is that the transition was tough because it was so different. There just isn't any way Utah can simulate what Gainesville is going to be like.

If the Gators can hang in there I wouldn't rule them out in the fourth quarter when the Utes are drowning in sweat. If this game were in SLC I wouldn't give Florida much of a chance because Utah is really good. But the drastic climate change gives UF a chance.
