The No. 4 Miami Hurricanes are set to face the Florida Gators in a high-stakes rivalry game on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. on ABC. Miami comes in strong, aiming to extend its impressive start to the season, while Florida looks to rebound after a 1–2 start.
The Gators will be missing key defensive players, complicating their task. Defensive end George Gumbs Jr. is doubtful, having traveled with the team but facing uncertainty regarding his participation. Defensive tackle Michai Boireau will not play, while Caleb Banks remains sidelined due to a long-term injury. The absence of these three linemen leaves the Florida defense vulnerable, putting extra pressure on remaining standouts such as EDGE rusher Tyreak Sapp.
Miami, led by quarterback Carson Beck, has been dominant offensively, throwing for 812 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season. With Florida’s depleted defensive front, the Hurricanes’ high-powered attack could be even more difficult to contain.
