Welcome to a Thursday edition of Gators News! As we cross over the midweek into the downslide towards the weekend, there is some big news across the border that could bode well for Florida Gators football.

The top story today is Georgia quarterback Jamie Newman opting out of the college football season. Newman, considered a possible NFL first-round draft pick for 2021 entering the season, was expected to give the Bulldogs experience at the position after three-year starter Jake Fromm entered the 2020 draft.

In other news, Southern Mississippi sees hosting first the FBS game of the season as a “huge opportunity”. “It’s been a different spring,” head coach Hopson said. “It’s been a different summer. This year everything has been different.”

Dan Wolken at USA TODAY Sports thinks that there is no such thing as a coaches’ hot seat in college football this season because of the CVOID-19 pandemic. Eventually, the coaching carousel will return to normal, but for now, there’s no such thing as a hot seat.
