Florida vs Campbell: how to watch

The Gators get one last tune-up before SEC play, against an FCS team that is nobody's pushover right now.

In brief

The Gators get one last tune-up before SEC play, against an FCS team that is nobody's pushover right now. Florida should roll, but Campbell is averaging over 500 yards a game, and a sloppy win would cost the Gators a Top 25 spot heading into Auburn. Originally reported by Florida Gators On SI.

Gators go for 2-0

Gators go for 2-0

Florida hosts FCS program Campbell on Saturday, hoping to start Jon Sumrall's first season with the Gators at 2-0.

The last easy week

This is the final non-conference game until Florida State in November. SEC play starts next week at Auburn, so Saturday is the last tune-up.

Sumrall is not joking

He told his staff to throw out Campbell's film from last season. Different team, he said, and not worth the time.

“We shouldn't even watch any of last year's stuff. It's a waste of time.”

500 yards a game

Campbell is averaging over 500 yards per game with a quarterback Sumrall says is playing at a really high level.

“They got really quality football players and it's a challenge. It really is.”

Florida's 66-point week

Aaron Philo accounted for four touchdowns in Florida's win over FAU last week.

The Gators punted zero times against FAU and scored 66. Aaron Philo accounted for four touchdowns. The defense is the part that still needs work.

When and where

Saturday at 5:30 p.m. ET at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. Expect 85 degrees, cloudy, with a 15 percent chance of rain.

Streaming only

The game is on SEC Network+, with Todd Emrich on play-by-play and Fozzy Whittaker on analysis. No cable channel for this one.

On the radio

Gator Sports Network from LEARFIELD has the call: Sean Kelley on play-by-play, Shane Matthews on analysis, Tate Casey reporting.

A 50.5-point spread

FanDuel lists Florida as a 50.5-point favorite with the over/under at 66.5. Odds move, so check before kickoff.

Gameday around the stadium

Gator Walk starts at 2:45 p.m. ET on the north side. Teacher of the Year Barbara Brock does Mr. Two-Bits, and the theme is Championship Reunion Weekend.

What's actually at stake

First meeting ever, and Campbell's first shot at an SEC team. Florida has won nine straight over FCS opponents since losing to Georgia Southern in 2013, and a big win could crack the AP Poll.

Here's the gist

Florida should roll, but Campbell is averaging over 500 yards a game, and a sloppy win would cost the Gators a Top 25 spot heading into Auburn.
