Game week is here! The Gator Nation is anxious to erase the memories of the 2017 season, and this cupcake will give the team an opportunity to boost its confidence following a 4-7 season.
Date: Saturday, September 1
Game Time: 7:30 pm ET
Venue: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, FL
Network: ESPN3
CSU finished with a 6-5 record, including a 49-0 loss to Dan Mullen's Mississippi State Bulldogs. CSU was 10th in the FCS in sacks last season, and they get back Ronnie Harris and London Johnson's abilities to get into the backfield for a defense that allowed just 312 yards per game. The Gators will have either Feleipe Franks or Kyle Trask making quick reads in order to avoid what will be a relentless pass rush. Just as in years past, the Gator offensive line is full of question marks, but if they cannot hold back last year's #10 FCS pass rush, this will be the sign of a long season for the Gators. If anything, Mullen's improved coaching will click with his designated starters and the offense will get rolling after a slow start.
Charleston Southern scored 176 of the team’s 250 points in its last three games, so this should not be a major test for he revamped Gator defense. The defense should keep this a scoreless game, even if they simplified their look for this game.
Escambia94's prediction: Florida Gators 42, Charleston Southern Buccaneers 3.
