Per The Athletic:

12. Florida vs. Minnesota

Location: Ames, Iowa. The closest power-conference campus to Dinkytown is Iowa State, which is also the site of Billy Napier’s biggest win as Louisiana’s coach.

Dochterman: In three games against the Gophers while at Wisconsin, Florida quarterback Graham Mertz never threw a touchdown and suffered a concussion in the only meeting the Badgers won. That unfortunate trend extends to this matchup for the Gators. Plus, the Gophers have the best little-known receiver in the country in Daniel Jackson. Minnesota 34, Florida 24.

Emerson:
I spent some time around the Gophers this offseason and like the potential for immediate chemistry under new quarterback Max Brosmer. But the Gators will be improved this year; it’s just that their SEC schedule will make it hard to show that improvement in the standings. On a somewhat neutral site, their talent should win out. Florida 23, Minnesota 21.

Go Gophers!!
