The Florida Gators, fresh off a 66-21 victory over Florida Atlantic, will welcome the Campbell Camels on September 12 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, with kickoff slated for 5:30 ET.
Game Overview
The Swamp, which accommodates 88,548 fans, serves as the venue for a contest that carries a $525,000 guarantee for the Gators, underscoring the financial stakes of the matchup.
Florida’s offense looked explosive in its opener, as quarterback Aaron Philo threw for 275 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, leading the team to its highest-scoring season opener since 1994.
Campbell arrives with a 2-0 record and is still searching for consistency under third-year head coach Braxton Harris, who inherited a program that finished 7-19 in the previous season.
The financial arrangement sees Florida paying Campbell $525,000 per the contract terms, a notable sum for a mid‑major program.
Health and Roster Updates
Injury concerns linger for the Gators, with wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. and defensive lineman Emmanuel Oyebadejo listed as highly questionable after sustaining injuries in the season‑opening game.
Left tackle Eagan Boyer, who missed the opener, is expected to return to practice on Tuesday, while wide receiver Davian Groce may remain sidelined for another week.
Broadcast coverage will be provided by SEC Network+, with streaming options available through Fubo and ESPN+, ensuring nationwide access to the contest.
Coach Jon Sumrall highlighted areas for improvement in the Gators’ defense, particularly the pass rush, even as he noted some encouraging performances early in the season.
The matchup not only tests the Gators’ ability to build on their explosive start but also offers Campbell a chance to prove its resurgence after a challenging previous campaign.
