Mertz also ranks fourth in the FBS and first in the SEC in TD pass-interception ratio (9.0). He’s thrown for 18 TDs and has been picked off only twice.
Florida is also a deadly red zone squad. The Gators own a 92.7% red zone conversion rate. That’s 16th overall in the nation. Over the past nine games, Florida has produced points from 36 of 37 red-zone visits.
Schrader Could Shred Florida
If the Gators want any hope of victory in this game, they must first figure out a way to contain Missouri RB Cody Schrader. He’s leading the SEC with 1,124 rushing yards. Schrader has rambled for 11 TDs. Schrader rushed for 205 yards and gained 321 yards of total offense in last week’s drubbing of Tennessee.
Two years ago, Cody Schrader was playing for D-II Truman State.
Last year, he walked on at Mizzou.
Tonight, he had 205 rushing yards, 116 receiving yards, and got lifted up by his teammates.

Here’s the problem – Florida’s defense can’t stop the run. The Gators are giving up 160 yards per game on the ground, which is 86th in the country. Last week, LSU carved them up for 329 rushing yards, 234 of them coming from LSU QB and contender in the Heisman Trophy odds Jayden Daniels. Over the past four games, Florida has surrendered 868 yards on the ground.
Florida vs Missouri Prediction
The Gators have dropped three games in a row. They must post one more victory to become bowl-eligible and next week are facing #4 Florida State.
These two teams will be meeting for the 13th time and 13 will prove a lucky number for one school. That’s because the all-time series is deadlocked 6-6.
That team will be Missouri. The Gators are a dismal 1-4 SU on the road this season. They allow 38.2 points per game away from home.
