Three and Out: Florida

Related Topics: Florida, Missouri, Todd Grantham

If Missouri wants to pull an upset in the swamp, containing Kyle Pitts is going to have to be the first and foremost priority for the defense. Pitts, a junior tight end, has been a game breaker for the Florida offense. Through three games, he’s 2nd on the Gators in receptions (17), 1st in receiving yards (274), and 1st on the team with seven (yes, seven.) touchdowns. He’s been as physically imposing as those numbers suggest.

On the flip side, you have the Missouri defense which plays a lot of man coverage. I don’t expect that to change, so there’s a good chance you’ll see Bledsoe covering Pitts in those situations.
