2. Florida is unsettled at quarterback

It is needless to say but quarterback is the most important position in football and not knowing who yours is is not the way you want to be going into a game vs the number one team in the country.

Florida had great QB play last season with Kyle Trask and it was thought that because Dan Mullen is such a good offensive coach and play-caller, he could adapt the offense to expected starter Emory Jones.

So far, Jones has been a big disappointment this season and it seems like it should only be a matter of time before Anthony Richardson is given the job. Richardson has looked really talented in spurts this season and looks like he could be the future at the position for the Gators.

Mullen has said that he will keep playing Jones and I think that he will start on Saturday. However, Alabama football’s defense is terrifying and it is tough to envision Jones having much success. If he struggles, look for Richardson to come in and see what he can do.
