Thanks when you look at it like that it’s not bad at all. Those replacements will ball out.

I hope so and maybe we can pull out a win somehow but missing Pitts and Toney will make things way easier on their defense.

The betting line went from UF -3 to OK -3 due to the Opt-Outs, so we'll see.... 🤓

We’ll get a glimpse of what’s to come next year.

Give Anthony Richardson some WR reps. He should know the routes, has the speed and athletic ability.

Need to see a sighting from Jordan Pouncey. Need Rick Wells to step it up this game.

U can’t replace Pitts.

The Gators lost 4 WR's and the best receiving RB to the NFL after 2019.
Now 3 WR's and the starting TE are out for the Cotton Bowl.
Are the Gators doomed due to an empty cupboard?

Well, there are a few remaining to throw the ball to:

WR Rick Wells 6-1 202 rsSr - late bloomer
6 for 77 yds, 12.8 Yds/Rec

WR Justin Shorter 6-5 225 rsSo
23 for 246 yds, 10.7 Yds/Rec, 3 TD's.

WR Trent Whittemore 6-4 208 rsFr
Played in 7 Gms, broken rib w/Punctured lung, back now.
8 for 81 yds, 10.1 Yds/rec, 1 TD

WR Ja'Markis Weston 6-3 215 rsFr
8 Gms, mostly ST's so far.

WR Xzavier Henderson 6-4 191 Fr
8 for 136 Yds, 17.0 Yds/Rec, 1 TD

WR Ja'Quavion Fraziars 6-3 211 Fr

RB Malik Davis 5-10 205 rsJr (could easily play slot WR)
29 for 358 yds, 12.3 Yds/Rec

RB Daemon Pierce 5-10 215 Jr
