Florida announces starting lineups, Brenton Cox Jr. will play in opener

Here are the interesting tidbits from Florida’s announced starting lineup against FAU.

Florida got some good news ahead of its season-opening contest against the Florida Atlantic Owls on Saturday. The Gators announced their starting lineups for the game, and featured in that group is edge rusher Brenton Cox Jr. The redshirt junior spent much of the offseason dealing with a foot injury, but he practiced during fall camp and was expected to suit up for the season opener.

Now that’s official, according to AllGators’ Zach Goodall.

Cox is a transfer from Georgia who led the team in quarterback hurries during his first season in Gainesville in 2020. He’s expected to be the team’s leading edge rusher this season.

In other news, UF also announced that cornerback Avery Helm will start opposite Kaiir Elam on the outside. Helm is a redshirt freshman who only appeared in the Cotton Bowl last year, but he won the job over transfer Elijah Blades and five-star true freshman Jason Marshall Jr.

Offensively, Malik Davis and Dameon Pierce get the start at running back, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise. However, some fans likely wanted to see Demarkcus Bowman get the nod. It’s unclear how much of a role the five-star Clemson transfer will play in the offense.

The kicking battle was resolved with Jace Christmann being listed as the probable starter over Chris Howard. Christmann is a transfer from Mississippi State, while Howard is a fifth-year former walk-on who served as Evan McPherson‘s backup the last few years.

The Gators begin their 2021 season against the Owls at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

In Premier League action, Liverpool will welcome Bournemouth to Anfield on Saturday as the Reds are in need of a win after suffering their third defeat in four matches while being knocked out of the FA Cup on Tuesday.

Bournemouth has been struggling as well as of late with only one win in their last five games in all competitions. They should have some confidence going into this match after a draw with Chelsea their last time out.

You’d have to imagine that Jurgen Klopp will name a strong starting lineup for today’s match, meaning key players such as Mohamed Salah, Alisson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be playing.

Real Madrid will be looking for its first victory in three games and they will have to do it against one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona. Real has been plagued with injuries, with one to Eden Hazard which will knock him out of play for at least three months.

Barcelona is coming off of an extra day of rest after facing Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday. They will look to jump on the fast speed of Real Madrid to open up some lanes and play a little more reserved with that speed on the outside.

Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Bale, Benzema.

Barcelona starting XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Firpo, Busquets, Arthur, De Jong, Vidal, Griezmann, Messi.

Prediction: With these teams evenly matched as always, this will be a tough match and expect a low scoring affair. Barca: 2 Real Madrid: 1
