Know Your Enemy - 2025 Miami Hurricanes vs 2025 Florida Gators

Florida will be strong at RB, DT, and CB. Nowhere else scares me on that roster whatsoever. UM really needs a WR1 and starting LB. If they land that in the portal and there isn’t a ton of attrition late spring this team will be very good.
If either or both Vernell Brown and Dallas Wilson are a dude this could be a strong group for them. Hawkins has some gamebreaking ability as does Mizell. They still have Eugene Wilson as of now so I would also look to this group as a potential strength for them

I see numerous opinions here that expect us to beat up on the Gators. That was last year so I would temper the excitement. The gators finished on a very high note with a good class coming in. I see a couple of you making fun of their coach and his day game skills. Make NO MISTAKE we have the worst day game head coach in the history of college football. Losing Andy Borregales, Cam Ward, Restrepo, and Arroyo are all MASSIVE LOSSES to the side of the ball that kept us in every game. This game will be very tight to say the least.
 
The following is a side-by-side roster comparison of current rosters for Miami and Florida heading into tonight's game.
