Utah didn’t have its starting quarterback, Cam Rising, and rotated two throughout the game. Utah was the team that didn’t have its standout tight end Brant Kuithe, nor did it have multiple other starters. But Florida was the team who looked disjointed, unprepared and just plain bad in a 24–11 loss to the Utes. In their first out-of-conference game outside of Florida since 1991, the Gators looked like they simply were not ready to play from the very first snap. Bryson Barnes’s 70-yard bomb to Money Parks on Utah’s first offensive play of the game stunned Florida.
