The Gators have had a positive start to the season, winning three and losing two. It’s early days in the season, but their current record places them at the bottom of the SEC East standings.
Anthony Richardson has starred for Florida, and his performances have impacted their results greatly. The quarterback has averaged 223 thrown yards per game in the opening five fixtures. He has thrown four touchdowns, with a pass completion percentage of 55.7%, this season. Richardson also racked up 17 carries and two rushing touchdowns in the 38-33 loss against the Volunteers.
The Tigers, meanwhile, have been pretty average, this season losing three and winning two. They were in a healthy 19-12 lead going into the fourth quarter against the Bulldogs in their last game, but they squandered that lead and eventually lost 26-22.
