3. Jabari Zuniga, defensive end

Redshirt senior defensive end Jabari Zuniga has been missed in the last two games for Florida football.

Granted, we’ve been fine, but his absence has been noted.

But, for all intents and purposes, Zuniga is back to full health and full strength. That means he should be ready to go against Missouri Saturday.

I, for one, want to see what a fully healthy Florida football defensive line can do to Missouri.

Getting a good push upfront will be key to disrupting the passing game the Tigers have relied on this season.

Of course, it will also help in stymieing any potential for a running game.

All of that is made even more possible with Zuniga in the starting lineup.

He has a few games left as a Gator, so I really hope he is playing and active Saturday in Columbia.
