Surprise Commitment: Nation’s No.1 QB Flips to Florida Gators at Midnight – Calls Florida Gators “The Only Choice That Flet Like Home.
According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, the Gators are given an 82.7% chance to win, while USF sits at just 17.3%.
The numbers reflect Florida’s dominance in Week 1, where sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway threw three first-half touchdowns, the defense pitched a shutout and the offense played clean football with zero penalties or turnovers.
On the other side, USF quarterback Byrum Brown lit up Boise State’s defense for 210 yards through the air, and his offense looked far more explosive than in recent years.
If there’s a trap-game vibe here, it’s because USF has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Florida, meanwhile, has to prove it can carry momentum into a brutal September slate that includes the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies.
The Vikings made a concerted effort to trade for Mason and didn’t do much else to address their backfield.
Aaron Jones Sr., who will turn 31 in December, has battled through a flurry of injuries the last few seasons and it seems like the coaching staff understands his workload needs to be dialed back.
Enter Mason as one half of a 50-50 tandem and the goal-line hammer in an offense that should be in scoring position often.
He’s another RB3/flex with a fantasy ceiling inside the top 12 if Jones is sidelined at any point.
