Altitude will be a minor issue, these are well conditioned athletes not old, over weight guys like me that might suffer from the thin air.
IMO, the lines of scrimmage on both sides will favor the Gators. D can't give up big plays and Mertz needs to manage the game without turnovers. Gators win, 24-17.

I hope.
I know these kids are in good shape, but adjusting to the air thinness might give Utah a slight edge.
I know SLC isn't Denver or the Andes, so it might not be that much of a factor, but I definitely hope that the guys are ready for it.

I’ll have to disagree with you in this. No matter what condition you are in , going from sea level to 4285 ft MSL has an impact. The Gators need to get up there on the Sunday before the game and get used to it.
