Florida suspends seven players including Antonio Callaway.


Sure win just became sure blowout win.

To be fair, it sounds like the only other would-be contributor who is suspended is a backup LB. Florida's offense shouldn't be able to do much, though.

Ideally, Michigan can get at least a 10 point lead in the first half and then stay in control for the second half. If the offense can score 41 points, again, that'd be great, but I certainly don't expect it against a decent defense.

The Wolverines are 3-0 all time vs the Gators, thrice defeating them in recent Floridian Bowl Games.


Michigan won 38-30 in the 03 Outback Bowl.


Michigan won 41-35 in the 08 Citrus Bowl; Lloyd Carr's final game.


Michigan won 41-7 in the 16 Citrus Bowl.

Wow, guys.  I hope the UM players are reading all of this.  Might as well not play the game, huh?  Thanks for the respect.


I'd like to take this as an opportunity to make note of Coach McElwain not taking the easy route and playing his only threat at WR for a big game.  Yes, the opener is a big game, but rules are rules, and Callaway is out. 


But McElwain was trying to get out of playing LSU last year, too, right? 


Ugh.

You're not very good at weeding through the fake news, are you? 


Tell your source, "one guy", to F-off.

I don't see a blow out.  Teams seem evenly matched..more so now at WR.

Credit to the UF program for taking these steps IMHO.


It will impact their offensive output and UM game planning on defense.


It might also motivate a few nonstarters to step it up now with more reps as ones.


And send a clear message.

Players or not, I don't know who would be a "probable victor" in this one.  Both teams have a lot of unknowns, I think.

I don't really have any kind of animosity towards Michigan at all.  Seriously.


With that said, I thought a week ago that Florida was going to roll in this one and now I'm putting it at a "Florida only wins by 7 to 10" now.


If this was the third or fourth game of the year, I may have put the odds at even, but this will be the first start for about 14 of Michigan's players on the first game of the year.  The Michigan QB situation still isn't clear and Michigan has all of the "hype" right now (ie, they will be under the greater pressure).


Yeah, they are talented, but there is going to be some significant rust to grind off.

The first Tweet I read said all 7 were starters, so that changes things.
