Texas Longhorns vs Florida Gators team news & key players
Texas Longhorns team news
Steve Sarkisian's squad had the luxury of a bye week to recover and prepare for their upcoming matchup against Florida on Nov. 9. Texas could see the return of senior safety Andrew Mukuba and junior wide receiver Isaiah Bond, both of whom have been dealing with lower-body injuries.
Quinn Ewers has thrown for 1,389 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, completing 69.1% of his passes, while Arch Manning has passed for 920 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, with a completion rate of 69%. In the rushing game, Quintrevion Wisner leads with 409 yards, while Jaydon Blue has added 316 yards and 4 touchdowns, and Jerrick Gibson has contributed 227 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Gunnar Helm is the top receiver for the Longhorns with 31 catches for 419 yards, while Isaiah Bond has 380 yards and 4 touchdowns, and Matthew Golden has 332 yards and 4 touchdowns as well. Ryan Wingo has accumulated 328 yards, while DeAndre Moore Jr. has 249 yards and 5 touchdowns. Additionally, four other Longhorns have surpassed the 100-yard mark in receiving this season.
Florida Gators team news
Florida has faced an unfortunate string of injuries this season, making them one of the most unlucky teams in the SEC. Just weeks after the Gators lost senior quarterback Graham Mertz to a season-ending ACL injury, freshman sensation D.J. Lagway suffered a serious lower-body injury, described as "significant" by head coach Billy Napier during halftime of last weekend’s game against Georgia.
Despite the severity of the injury, Napier has yet to rule Lagway out for the upcoming Texas game as of Monday. Given the circumstances, it's likely the team will exercise caution with their offense. Considering Lagway's bright future, it seems improbable that Napier would risk further injury in a game that may not be crucial in the long run.
Lagway has thrown for 1,071 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, completing 60.9% of his passes. Meanwhile, Mertz has tallied 791 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, with a higher completion rate of 76.6%. Third-string quarterback, redshirt freshman Aidan Warner, could get the start here.
In the rushing department, Montrell Johnson Jr. leads with 373 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Jadan Baugh follows with 323 yards and 5 touchdowns.
In the receiving game, Elijhah Badger is the team’s top performer with 24 receptions for 560 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Chimere Dike has 428 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 catches. Eugene Wilson III has added 266 yards, with three other Gators also surpassing the 100-yard receiving mark this season.
