Florida football will open its 2023 season under Thursday night lights, as the Gators announced their matchup at Utah will take place on Thursday, Aug. 31 at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Kickoff time and broadcast information will be announced at a later time. PAC-12 television contracts, which govern Utah’s home games, will determine time and broadcast information. It will be the first time that Florida has played on a Thursday since Oct. 1, 1992, when the Gators lost 30-6 at Mississippi State. The Gators won last year's meeting against the No. 8 Utes, 29-26 in Gainesville. 📖 more at GatorSports.com. ✍: Kevin Brockway 📸: mattpendletonphoto #floridagators #gogators #floridafootball #gatorsfootball #utahutes #utahfootball #utesfootball #billynapier #collegefootball #secfootball
