From DJ Lagway’s performance, Tramell Jones Jr. securing the backup QB role, to concerns about the offensive line and Trey Smack's kicking, plus Billy Napier's warning about USF's "really good football team" that dominated Boise State. Can the Gators maintain their defensive dominance against a dual-threat quarterback and "unique speed outside"?
