Fournette has been hampered by the chronic injury this season. Florida has to see this as a positive, as its chances to beat the Tigers just improved, assuming the report is true.
However, it’s not like there’s much drop off to backup Derrius Guice, who has torched teams this season. Guice leads the team in rushing with 881 yards and nine rushing touchdowns.
The Gators and Tigers kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET.
