The heat is starting to get to Chad Morris as he once again dropped a close contest to LSU.
Like some other teams on Florida’s schedule, we think the Gators are a better team at this point than Arkansas. As we have pointed out, Arkansas doesn’t have a dependable rushing attack this season, and Florida is much better suited to handle a running QB compared to last season.
The problem is Florida’s consistency.
Much like our fear with the Vanderbilt game, the matchup against Arkansas falls between Georgia and LSU. And the Razorbacks are still solid enough that if Florida shows up sleep walking, they will get beat.
