Does Florida play today? Schedule, time, channel for next Gators football game image

Florida will look to turn its season around — in a hurry — after its bye week. 

The Gators (1-3) have dropped three consecutive games, despite entering the season as the 15th-ranked team in the nation.

The offense has struggled, scoring just three touchdowns across the last three games, with sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway having thrown more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (five). 

But there still lies plenty of opportunity for Florida, a byproduct of playing in the SEC. The Gators are scheduled to play six more ranked teams, beginning on Oct. 4 when they welcome Arch Manning and 10th-ranked Texas to the Swamp. 

The Sporting News has everything that you need to know about watching Florida's next game.
