College football season is about to begin and sports media is eagerly anticipating the games. Among those discussing the upcoming season is Steven Lassan of Pro Football Focus, who recently ranked all 133 Football Bowl Subdivision schools from best to worst.
Unfortunately for Florida fans, his outlook for the Gators was bleak. He predicted that the team would finish at No. 49 overall at the end of the season in light of the departure of quarterback Anthony Richardson to the NFL. Coach Billy Napier is working to rebuild the program, but a bowl game might be the best that the team can accomplish in 2023.
Graham Mertz, who transferred from Wisconsin to Gainesville, has had an uneven career but is looking for a fresh start and the chance to replace Richardson. Meanwhile, the backfield with Trevor Etienne and Montrell Johnson returning, is where the team’s strength lies.
The team will need to find a few more playmakers to assist Ricky Pearsall at receiver, as well as making up for the loss of standout guard O’Cyrus Torrence in the trenches.
Improving the team’s defense is a key task for new coordinator, Austin Armstrong. The team struggled last year, ranking at the bottom of the SEC in yards per play allowed (5.92), points allowed (28.8), while also struggling to stop the run (175.2 yards per contest). With only four returning starters, the defense will likely remain a work in progress throughout the upcoming season. The first game of the 2023 season is against the Utah Utes on August 31, with a kickoff time of 8 PM EDT.
