The Florida Gators have released their depth chart for their Week 6 game against the Missouri Tigers.
Notable changes from last week include the return of safety [autotag]Trey Dean[/autotag] III from his lower-body injury and quarterback [autotag]Jack Miller[/autotag]’s upgrade from out to questionable. Dean is listed as a starter and Miller, according to On3’s Nick de la Torre, was a limited participant in practice for the first time this season.
Miller’s inaction was due to a thumb injury he suffered in the preseason. Because of his absence, the backup quarterback position has been up in the air, with [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] being the team’s unquestioned starter.
Last week, redshirt freshman quarterback Jalen Kitna was thrown into the game for a few plays after Richardson came out of the game to get his ankle looked at. After showing promise with the starter sidelined for a few plays, Kitna was given the nod to play most of the second half, after the Gators’ victory was secured. He went 8 of 12 with 152 passing yards and a beautiful 62-yard TD throw to freshman wide receiver [autotag]Caleb Douglas[/autotag].
Notably, [autotag]Ventrell Miller[/autotag] is listed as the starting linebacker and not on the injury report. Miller has been dealing with an injury all season, with ESPN’s broadcasters saying the injury was a fractured bone in his foot. This is a good sign for the Gators, as Miller’s presence is vital to the success of the defense.
The Gators will take on the Missouri Tigers in their annual homecoming game on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for noon EDT. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
