Game Day: No. 8 Florida at No. 25 Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. — No. 8 Florida (4-0, 2-0 SEC) is at No. 25 Missouri (3-1, 0-1 SEC) today at 3:50 p.m. ET on ABC, with the Gators looking to stay unbeaten on Missouri's homecoming weekend at Faurot Field.

Florida enters off back-to-back SEC road and home wins over Auburn and Ole Miss, the latter a 52-28 rout of a then-No. 4 team that gave the Gators their best start since 2019. Jon Sumrall was named the Dodd Trophy's inaugural Coach of the Month for September on the strength of that run.

Availability

Florida's Friday SEC availability report listed receiver Vernell Brown III as doubtful and Bailey Stockton as upgraded after both appeared on the injury report earlier in the week.

The line

Florida opened as a 4.5-point favorite, according to the AP; DraftKings had the Gators at 5.5 with an over/under of 56.5. Missouri leads the all-time series 7-6, and Florida is 2-4 on the road against the Tigers, with the last meeting going to Missouri, 33-31, in 2023.

The Gators' offense leads the way at 53.5 points per game, second nationally, behind running back Jadan Baugh (600 yards, 11 touchdowns) and quarterback Aaron Philo.
