HISTORY: Florida and Mizzou have faced off in every since the Tigers joined the SEC East in 2012. Missouri leads the all-time series 6-5, after winning last year’s matchup, 24-23.
Missouri Tigers
Missouri came away from non-conference play with a 2-1 record, picking up victories over Louisiana Tech and Abilene Christian, while losing to former Big 12 rival Kansas State. Mizzou fell to Auburn in a battle of Tigers in their SEC opener, but nearly made school history last weekend.
In Week 5, Missouri lost to Georgia, 26-22, after leading for the first 55 minutes of the game.
Missouri scores 26.8 points per game, while allowing 24.8 ppg.
Brady Cook has shown a few flashes during his first month of action. The sophomore quarterback played well against Georgia, and nearly led Tigers to one of the biggest wins in school history. Cook has thrown for 992 passing yards with five touchdowns to four interceptions, and rushed for 147 yards and two scores.
Nathaniel Peat and Cody Schrader split the workload. Peat, a Stanford transfer, rushed for 110 yards versus Auburn and leads Mizzou with 262 rushing yards. Shrader leads the team with three rushing touchdowns, while rushing for an identical 261 yards.
Dominic Lovett has established himself as the number one option early, leading the Tigers in receptions (27) and receiving yards (460).
Florida Gators
Florida picked up qualities non-conference wins over top-ten ranked Utah and in-state foe South Florida, but they’ve dropped their first two SEC games to Kentucky and Tennessee. The offense has improved swiftly over the passed two games, so there’s optimism for the Gators going forward.
In Week 5, Florida defeated Eastern Washington, 52-17, covering the massive 31-point spread.
Florida scores 32.2 points per game, while allowing 27.1 ppg.
Anthony Richardson is developing right before our eyes. After three pedestrian passing performances, the sophomore quarterback has made use of his arm over the past two weeks. The Gators need their first conference win, so he can make a statement with a strong outing here at home.
RIchardson has passed for 1,116 yards with four touchdowns to six interceptions, while rushing for 241 yards and five scores through his first five starts.
Trevor Etienne and Montrell Johnson Jr. have split the touches well early for the Gators. Johnson Jr. has led the team in rushing in the first three contests, totaling 282 yards and four touchdowns. Etienne, whose brother starred at Clemson, has gained 241 rushing yards and two scores.
Florida’s got three big play threats at receiver this year. Fifth-year senior Justin Shorter has provided explosiveness over the pass two weeks, gaining a career-high 155 yards versus the Vols, and scoring a 75-yard touchdown last weekend. ASU transfer Rickey Pearsall recorded 103 yards and a score against Tennessee, and he scored on a 76-yard reverse in the win over EWU. Highly touted wideout Xzavier Henderson leads the team in receptions (21), and has 202 receiving yards.

Free Week 6 NCAA Football Final Analysis:
Mizzou seems hellbent on competing in the SEC this season. The Tigers are a few points away from being 2-0 in conference play and although it’d be impressive covering for the third straight time, it feels like Florida has finally turned the page offensively. Anthony Richardson looks like he’s supposed to be behind center, and has played the right way the past two weekends.
While the margin is tough, we’ll trust the Gators momentum and environment for this one. Take Florida’s spread Saturday afternoon.
