Carta-Samuels primary target in the passing game is receiver Preston Williams, who had 12 grabs for 154 yards and 2 TD’s against the Hogs. This could bode disastrous for a UF defense that looked shaky last week all the way around, and now that top corner Marco Wilson will be sidelined for the season. Carta-Samuels completed 22 out of 27 passes for nearly 300 yards and 2 TD’s in the second half alone. Carta-Samuels was the big reason behind the furious comeback. This is by no means a pushover opponent and one the Gators can’t come limping into. And although this is a game the Gators should breeze by, the Rams just took down Arkansas just last week.Ĭolorado State was even down by 18 points in the second half and blanked the Razorbacks 17-0 in the fourth quarter. Florida faces Colorado State on Saturday afternoon in Gainesville. Or it could be an early tale of just how far Florida really has to go to get back to the top of the SEC- and the loss to Kentucky was just the first in a miserable season ahead.īut the season can only be taken a game at a time, and right now it’s all about the next game. Perhaps this could be an early season wake up call for Florida. I am interested in seeing how coach Dan Mullen can get to these guys, and if things will be different this season.
Florida owned an advantage in yards-per-play at 7.8 to 3.7.
