According to Utah’s press release, a TV designation for this game is still to be determined.
This contest will complete the home-and-home series between Florida and the Utes. Last season, the Gators defeated Utah 29-26 in dramatic fashion in Gainesville. The 2023 season-opener is expected to be another close game.
Florida is coming off of a 6-7 campaign in Billy Napier’s 1st year at the helm. The Gators will be hoping to take a big step forward in 2023.
Utah has won back-to-back Pac-12 titles. The Utes rebounded from their loss in Gainesville last season and finished the year with a 10-4 record.
Florida is 2-0 all-time against Utah. Its other win in this series came back in 1977.
A kickoff time for Florida-Utah is still to be announced.
2 consistently overrated programs
With three national championships and eight SEC championships, calling Florida “consistently overrated” seems inaccurate.
As for Utah, I would say that they have consistently overachieved.
Good points Nash.
He got a reaction. It was all he was looking for.

Call me rude but you just don’t wear jealousy well
How is JTF jealous?
Rude? That’s too nice.
Moron
Obsessed Moron
Obnoxious and obsessed Moron
Dumbass
A hole
I mean the list is endless
UF had been playing football for 117 years and all of the program’s success dates 1991 – 2008, a short 17 year span. First SEC Championship in 1991 and last SEC championship and NC in 2008; all SEC titles and NC’s in that short-lived window. One hit wonder, flash in the pan, Johnny come lately, here today gone tomorrow, posers, the have nots, fake it if you can’t make it, transients ….
So, that’s 100 years of suuccking aass and running with the likes of Vandy, USCar, UK etc.
Even within the State of Florida UF is the 3rd ranked program, at best. UF trails U. of Miami and FSU in NC’s, Conference Championships, overall winning percentage etc.
One category that UF sits alone atop the mountain at – number of terminated head coaches and contract buyouts. UF hiring a HC is like a drunken sailor hiring a h00ker after 3am, it was over before it ever started and it doesn’t end well.
Again – consistently overrated
Excellent points! great response!
Florida has a history of a terrible football program when you exclude the 90s and 00s. They are right back now where they have historically been.
Tdow, FSU has the same number of national championships as Florida, and Florida leads the series by 10 wins. Miami’s last championship was in 2001 I believe, and if you consider Florida overrated, then Miami is even more.
If we’re talking about the program with the most championships, then Yale, Alabama, Princeton and ND are the top programs.
Florida had multiple bowl teams in the 50s and 60s, back when there were far fewer bowls and you actually had to be good to get to one.
Three NCs and eight SECCs is hardly a “one-hit” wonder.
Going back a hundred years is absolutely meaningless, unless you want to talk about the football relevance of Princeton and Minnesota, within the context of football here and now.
Florida can open at Utah but Georgia can’t open at Oklahoma. Interesting.
Because Utah played at UF last year and this is the finishing the home and home.
That would not be possible with OK because of the pending SEC schedule.
One consistently moronic poster
TDOW – always bringing the reality, the pain – THE TRUTH – that is UF Football to the most delusional, reality-detached, bunch of beta boi’s fan base in all of college football – turd nation
Que Doc babbling about the spirit of the MD 20/20 and meeting at the State line for a bare knuckles conversation in 3,2,1 …
Narcissistic Moron
DingleBerryCojones
Was a lost little biitch without purpose and meaning until she entered TDOW’s Universe. Now she is TDOW’s biitch – registered, branded, forever – willfully – the chattle of TDOW. Anxiously awaiting every TDOW keystroke, beaming with pride in the role TDOW gave her, subconsciously secure in the identity and boundaries given to her by TDOW, emotionally fulfilled every time TDOW acknowledges her existence – all is well in the trailer park
When you speak in third person you do little to refute the narcissistic label. By the way, are you attempting to insult RealC by calling him a female? What issues do you have with women?
And there is nothing wrong with exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit, if more people did the world would be a better place.
Don’t mess with GFA she tells it like it is and a Georgia Moron is no match for her

Florida has been pretty stout through 2016 with off and on success! 2020 is the story of what could have been. I doubt you’ll catch Georgia with so many injuries, and everything going your way again!!!!!!
Florida is overrated recently. And especially their players. A Richardson never learned the college game. Yet he’s a first rounder???? Anyway, Georgia just went BACK TO BACK in football. The first of the playoff era!!!!!!
GEORGIA BEAT TCU 65-7 EASILY!!!!!
TCU earned their spot. They had 1 loss and were actually UNBEATEN! If they review 1 play instead of going fast and getting stopped. They again beat K STATE to be UNBEATEN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS WHO BEAT MICHIGAN!!!!!
Georgia opened the season winning by 47 points against Oregon. Then finished a 15-0 season 65-7 over TCU!!!!! In the middle Georgia became CURRENT SEC CHAMPIONS AGAIN LEAVING NO DOUBT!!!!!!
While Florida is in the middle of a serious rebuild yet again. Georgia is likely going to open up RANKED #1 IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!
AT SOM POINT ITS FAIR TO ASK. IS GEORGIA THE GREATEST TEAM EVER??? IF THEY 3PEAT THE QUESTION IS ANSWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE ALREADY IN THAT HISTORIC QUESTION……..
PS. We all know your worried about Utah, but that will be nothing compared to THE COCKTAIL PARTY!!!!
SEE YA THEN………: )

Might be a Fox doubleheader, Nebraska at Minnesota early, Utah-UF in the nightcap.
I don’t think they will put an east coast team on the opening night on the late game. But then again its all about how many eyes they can get to tune in.
6 win programs deserve Thursday night games only.
Lol
you mean to tell me that infrastructure doesn’t put fans in the seats and viewers on the sofa!
Thursday night in Provo. What else is there to do?
What’s to do on a Thursday night in Provo, take wife #3 out on a date night, or, spend some quality time with your fav sheep
Switch cousin for wife number 3 and you have a Georgia Date
Spot on but in the case of DumbsOfWar it would be his cousin’s poodle
