What you need to know
Florida: Still an open question just about everywhere as the Gators open up Year 1 under Billy Napier. He brings some solid recruiting connections and roster building experience, but we'll see what he can do in the SEC. First up is a challenge all its own against a high quality non-conference foe, but with a stout backfield and a very promising piece at QB with Anthony Richardson.
Utah: There are some notable losses here, including linebacker Devin Lloyd and receiver Britain Covey, but what the Utes bring back should be enough to make another run at the Pac-12. Cameron Rising and Tavion Thomas are a major 1-2 punch on offense, the former throwing 20 TDs a year ago and the latter rushing for 21 more. Watch how Utah's physical front seven matches up against Florida's able backs at the point of attack.
