Offensive line play has not been great for Florida, and they have allowed Mertz to get pressured far too often this year.

Oregon State is 17-0 ATS in Corvallis since the fans came back, but just 5-8 ATS on the road. Arizona’s long been a trap game for good Pac-12 teams in Tucson; can the Beavers avoid it?
