GAINESVILLE — Florida wide receiver Tre Wilson was miscast, marginalized and eventually lost in former coach Billy Napier’s passing game.
The redshirt sophomore is poised to return to the mix as the Gators push to open up the offense, spread the field and get playmakers in space for an attack that has averaged an SEC-low 17 points against FBS foes.
Wilson’s re-emergence with interim coach Billy Gonzales tweaking the attack could be key to UF (3-4, 2-2 SEC) upsetting No. 5 Georgia (6-1, 4-1) Saturday in Jacksonville.
“We want to try to get our playmakers the ball,” Gonzales, the team’s longtime receivers coach, said.
