Overview
- Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville.
- The SEC availability report lists multiple Florida contributors out, with Texas WR Emmett Mosley V and RB Quintrevion Wisner probable and RB CJ Baxter doubtful.
- Forecasts call for a 60–65% chance of rain and thunderstorms in Gainesville, raising the possibility of delays and favoring ground-heavy plans.
- Texas is ranked in the top 10 and favored by about 6.5 points, and SP+ projects roughly a 10-point Longhorns win in a game lined around 41–42 total points.
- Analysts highlight a defense-led matchup that will test Arch Manning and could further strain Billy Napier’s 1-3 Gators if it becomes a fourth straight loss.
