During the Seminoles’ last four games, Jordan Travis has thrown for 865 yards, 10 TDs, and only one interception. While Travis has proven that he can be a leader for the Noles, he has received a lot of help from the running game.
Over the last four games, Trey Benson has rushed for 482 total yards and scored three TDs. He has averaged at least five yards per carry in all four games and has not given up a single fumble on 121 carries over the regular season.
The Nole’s offensive production in their last four games gives value to them at legal sportsbooks SU against the Gators, who have let their opponents score an average of 29.6 PPG over their last five.
Over in Gainesville, the Gators have lost three of their last five games. Anthony Richardson has thrown 14 TDs and eight interceptions during the regular season. The Gator’s run game has played a role in their 2022 success, led by both Richardson and Montrell Johnson Jr.
During the Gator’s last five games, Montrell has recorded three games with 57 yards or less and two games over 100. They have lost all three of those games where he ran under 57. The Noles have not let a single player rush for over 64 yards during their last four wins.
Will the Noles get their fifth straight win against the Gators?
