First, we discuss the rivalry and excitement surrounding the season-opener (1:27) and the feelings surrounding the Florida program and head coach Billy Napier (3:13).

Next, Higdon provides his take on how tough it is to get a win in "The Swamp" (9:49) and on Florida quarterback Graham Mertz and what we should expect from the senior (13:04).

We discuss how Florida's offensive line will hold up against Miami's defensive front (16:42) and which Gator defensive linemen could make an impact against the Miami O-Line on Saturday (20:38).

Next, we discuss the Gator defenders that must contain Miami quarterback Cam Ward to be successful (23:54).
