Florida enters Saturday at 4-2 overall and 2-2 in SEC play after consecutive losses to Missouri and South Carolina. No. 7 Texas is also looking to respond after Oklahoma handed the Longhorns their first loss, 27-24, last week.<\/p>\n

Injury report snapshot<\/p>\n

Based on Thursday night\u2019s availability updates.<\/p>\n

Florida<\/p>\n

Aaron Philo, QB:\u00a0Questionable with a shoulder injury.Vernell Brown III, WR:\u00a0Questionable with a knee injury.Bailey Stockton, WR:\u00a0Questionable.Duke Clark, RB:\u00a0Out.<\/p>\n

Texas<\/p>\n

Kaliq Lockett, WR:\u00a0Out.Jaydon Chatman, OL:\u00a0Out.Jordan Coleman, OL:\u00a0Probable.Justus Terry, DL:\u00a0Probable.Florida vs. Texas: Key storylines<\/p>\n

1. Who takes the snaps for Florida?<\/p>\n

Philo\u2019s shoulder injury adds another complication to an already difficult road trip. Tramell Jones Jr. took significant practice reps this week and would make his first college start if Philo cannot play. Whoever gets the call will need help from the offensive line and running game.<\/p>\n

2. Can Florida get Jadan Baugh going again?<\/p>\n

Baugh rushed for 600 yards during Florida\u2019s 4-0 start. Over the past two games, he has managed just 72 yards on 27 carries. The offensive line hasn’t given him much daylight.<\/p>\n

3. Can the defense make Arch Manning uncomfortable?<\/p>\n

Manning threw two interceptions last week against Oklahoma and has shown that he is prone to imploding. Last year, Florida stopped Manning; can they do it again?<\/p>\n

Offensive players to watch in Florida vs. Texas<\/p>\n

Florida Gators<\/p>\n

Aaron Philo \/ Tramell Jones Jr., QB: Philo is considered a game-time decision. If he can’t go, Jones will get his first career start.Jadan Baugh, RB:\u00a0The hype train on Baugh has slowed down the last two weeks, but he also hasn’t had much help.Dallas Wilson, WR:\u00a0Florida\u2019s leading receiver enters with 26 catches for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson popped off against Texas last year. Does he have an encore in him?<\/p>\n

Texas Longhorns<\/p>\n

Arch Manning, QB:\u00a0Florida contained the former five-star QB last year, but questions about Florida’s defense this year make it tough to trustCam Coleman, WR:\u00a0He enters with 318 receiving yards and five touchdown catches.Hollywood Smothers, RB:\u00a0Texas\u2019 leading rusher has 237 yards and two rushing touchdowns.Defensive players to watch in Florida vs. Texas<\/p>\n

Florida Gators<\/p>\n

Myles Graham, LB:\u00a0Graham leads Florida with 41 tackles, but he hasn’t felt like the same explosive player we saw last year. Jayden Woods, EDGE:\u00a0Woods enters with 4.5 sacks and six tackles for loss, but just half of a sack in his last two games.<\/p>\n

Texas Longhorns<\/p>\n

Colin Simmons, EDGE:\u00a0Simmons leads the nation with 9.5 sacks. The future top-ten NFL draft pick will be a wrecking ball today if Florida doesn’t come up with answers.Justus Terry, DL:\u00a0Listed as probable, Terry is another defender to monitor up front. He has been out most of the year, but if he plays today he too can wreck havoc on Florida’s offensive line.\"\"Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two weeks ago, Florida was unbeaten and riding high after beating Ole Miss.
