Show Notes
Jon Sumrall makes his Florida coaching debut against an FAU team that led the nation in passing yards but somehow couldn't find the end zone. We break down QB Caden Veltkamp, FAU's historically bad turnover margin, and exactly what Florida needs to do up front on both sides of the ball to keep this one under control. Plus, a full score prediction for Saturday's opener in the Swamp, and we wrap things up with a preview from Kevin Winter over at WRUF.
