According to Utah’s press release, a TV designation for this game is still to be determined.
This contest will complete the home-and-home series between Florida and the Utes. Last season, the Gators defeated Utah 29-26 in dramatic fashion in Gainesville. The 2023 season-opener is expected to be another close game.
Florida is coming off of a 6-7 campaign in Billy Napier’s 1st year at the helm. The Gators will be hoping to take a big step forward in 2023.
Utah has won back-to-back Pac-12 titles. The Utes rebounded from their loss in Gainesville last season and finished the year with a 10-4 record.
Florida is 2-0 all-time against Utah. Its other win in this series came back in 1977.
A kickoff time for Florida-Utah is still to be announced.
