Florida Football Confidence Meter Week 10: Arkansas

  • Last Season: Did not play
  • HFH Confidence Meter Preseason: 50%
  • HFH Confidence Meter Presently: 50%

This actually looks like it could be a good matchup for Florida’s defense. KJ Jefferson looked the part on opening weekend, but the rushing attack as a whole was lackluster.

And Florida appears to have a solid secondary, and Shemar James did a great job controlling the running game for Utah, so there is the potential that Florida can slow down Jefferson enough to stick around in this game.

Arkansas also thrived off picking off four passes and mostly kept Western Carolina at bay during the first half before putting backups in during the second half.

This game still feels like a coin flip until we get more data points.
