Q3 | 3:05: On third down, Manning finds Mosely, who was wide open. That's an easy first down and an 18 yard Texas gain.

Q3 | 3:43: Manning seemingly completes a pass to Christian Clark, but the ball might have hit the ground. Napier throws the challenge flag. After review, the ruling is upheld. The fans are not happy with that call at all. 3rd-and-1 incoming for Texas at midfield.

Q3 | 11:25: Florida faces a 3rd-and-5. On the play, Lagway steps back, and throws to Baugh, who gets near the line to gain but ultimately ends up just short. Doman is out to punt. The punt sails out of bounds at the Texas 35-yard line. That goes down as a 30 yard punt. Also, Clark left that drive favoring his shoulder. Something to watch.

SAFETY: Q2: 3:52: Bouwmeester's punt is blocked by Taylor Spierto, and the ball rolls to the back of the end zone. Its a safety. Florida 19, Texas 7.

Q2 | 4:00: After two failed plays, Texas faces a crucial 3rd-and-9 well into its own territory. Manning drops back, surveys, and throws it deep for Emmett Mosley V. He was open, but the ball went long. Texas will punt.

Q2 | 7:11: Another impressive run by Clark, who has shined thus far. 11-yard gain for a first down, and UF is at the Texas 35-yard line.

Q2 | 7:30: Lagway looks deep on 1st-and-10 towards Wilson. The ball falls incomplete, and there is no flag.

Q2 | 7:40: On 3rd-and-7, Lagway fires towards a slanting Sturdivant for a big gain of 18. A broken tackle would have led to a touchdown there.

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER: Florida 10, Texas 0: About as good of an opening drive that UF could have hoped for, but Lagway's potential injury could put a cloud over the rest of this game.

Q1 | 5:22: On 3rd-and-10, Manning is chased right and is forced to throw it away. The Longhorns will line up to punt.

Q1 | 10:33: At midfield, the Gators face a 3rd-and-4. They hand the ball to Brown III on a designed play, and he goes around the edge for a gain of 14 yards. 2-2 on third downs for UF on this opening drive.

Q1 | 12:11: As the rain starts to fall once again, Florida faces a 3rd-and-6. Lagway drops back and finds Aidan Mizell, who gets 9 yards for the conversion. That's the first third-down conversion by the Gators since the LSU game.

Q1 | 14:34: On the opening play, Lagway finds freshman Dallas Wilson, who is blown up and he fumbles. He manages to recover. Not the way the true freshman wanted his first career catch to go.

KICKOFF: Will Stone boots it for the Longhorns, and we are underway. Vernell Brown III runs it out of the end zone, and is tripped up at the 15-yard line. Poor starting field position for the Gators.

PREGAME:

The Longhorns have won the coin toss and they choose to defer. Florida will start with the ball. It is 82 degrees outside, and the wind is blowing 7 miles per hour.

While the rain has halted, the wind has picked up once again. Skies are seemingly clearing, but in a slow matter.

The rain has picked up a little bit as pregame warmups conclude. No signs of lightning or any delay.

A light drizzle has started around 3:00, and fans begin to take out their ponchos. The wind is still heavy.

The wind here at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is picking up, leaving a cool breeze. Forecasts call for rain in the next 30-45 minutes.

INJURY REPORT:

Florida is without eight players on Saturday, including running backs Ja'Kobi Jackson and Treyaun Webb. That paves the way for freshman Duke Clark to have an increased role in this afternoon's matchup.

On the defensive line, Caleb Banks, Joseph Mbatchou and LJ McCray are all out. In the secondary, Aaron Gates and Dijon Johnson are inactive.

Defensive lineman Brendan Bett, Michai Boireau and George Gumbs Jr. all return for the Gators. Meanwhile, true freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson will officially make his Gator debut.

For Texas, running back CJ Baxter has been ruled out. Defensive back Malik Muhammad was a game-time decision, but did not warm up and is in street clothes. He is out.
