College football returns to Gainesville today when the Florida Atlantic Owls visits Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for the first game of Florida’s 2021 schedule. It has been a long wait since the end of the Cotton Bowl for Gators fans and an even longer stretch since the team’s last victory.
This fall’s lineup once again includes non-conference games after a pandemic-altered 2020 that restricted teams to competition within their respective conferences. Now that the schedule has returned to some sense of normalcy, Florida can go back to beating up on its inferior competition.
On that note, the staff here at Gators Wire weighed in with their takes and predictions ahead of Saturday night’s affair in the Swamp. Here is a look at how we think things will go down tonight.
