Florida football hosts the Samford Bulldogs on Saturday looking to snap its three-game losing streak. The FCS opponent is the Gators’ first game in the Swamp in over a month and represents the weakest opponent on the 2021 schedule. The two have never met before on the college gridiron in their current iterations, but have actually played twice exactly a century ago when Samford was going by a different name.
The Gators will have two fewer faces on the sidelines as the program released defensive coordinator Todd Grantham as well as offensive line coach John Hevesy after last week’s loss; linebackers coach Christian Robinson will take over the defensive play-calling.
Below, we have everything you need to know to follow Saturday’s action in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for noon EST.
