1. What will we see from Florida's quarterbacks this weekend?

Just Luke Del Rio. He went 29/44 passing for 256 yards and two touchdowns. No picks.

2. How will the carries be divided among Florida's five running backs?

Scarlett saw 13 of the 29, Thompson 6, Cronkrite 3, Perine 1 (on a play where he fumbled)

3. What type of performances will Florida's three newcomers at wide receiver bring to the table?

Massey missed most of the game reportedly with a knee injury. Hammond had 5 catches for 38 yards, Swain two catches for 11 yards.

4. With C'yontai Lewis suspended for the opener, and DeAndre Goolsby played banged up, tight ends Moral Stephens and Camrin Knight should see plenty of reps Saturday night. How will they perform?

Stephens saw the most time of those two, playing often with Goolsby in two-TE sets. Goolsby had 28 yards on 3 catches. No stats for Stephens.

5. How will starting kicker Eddy Pineiro respond to a live-game atmosphere in his first true collegiate contest?

He's legit. FGs from 49, 48 and 40 yards out. Hit on his PAT, too.

6. With a year of experience now under many of its contributors' belts, how will Florida's offensive line look now in Year 2 of the McElwain era?

Not very good.

7. How many first- and second-year players will see considerable playing time on defense this weekend?

A good number played, including Putu, Williamson, Gardner, Moon, Joseph, Polite, Zuniga, and a couple of others.

8. Will redshirt junior Alex Anzalone look like the same type of linebacker we saw at the start of the 2015 season?

He looked great in his return. Six tackles, a sack and a pass breakup.

9. How will sophomore CeCe Jefferson perform against UMass playing at defensive tackle?

Jefferson's Saturday was mostly quiet, but he did have a tackle and a QBH playing at DT.

10. Will Florida cover the spread against UMass?

Nope. And I'm going to hear it for my 55-10 prediction.
