Florida football hosts the Kentucky Wildcats in just a matter of minutes and the Gators will be without some of their key players in this SEC matchup.
Running back Montrell Johnson Jr. was listed as questionable throughout the week but he won’t be suiting up tonight against the Wildcats.
Redshirt senior safety Asa Turner was also questionable this week but he will miss yet another game this season. Turner transferred over the offseason from Washington and his only appearance this season came against Miami in Week 1.
Turner has been questionable the last two weeks, so that is a good sign for a return coming soon. With the bye week for Florida next week, Turner should be good to go on Nov. 2 against the Georgia Bulldogs in Jacksonville.
Another notable player that not many think about is long snapper Rocco Underwood. Underwood will miss tonight’s game and something to look at is how the backup long snapper, Gannon Burt, will perform with the special teams snaps, particularly during punts.
Players that were listed as questionable for the game but will play are offensive lineman Austin Barber and running back Treyaun Webb.
