GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The stage is set and for the first time in school history, the Florida Gators will wear black jerseys this weekend when they host the Arkansas Razorbacks. Florida is coming into the game after a loss to the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs while Arkansas comes in on a six-game losing streak.

The Hogs will be bringing a new interim offensive coordinator, receivers coach Kenny Guiton, to The Swamp.

“Everybody is bought in,” quarterback KJ Jefferson told local reporters. “Everybody is excited to go out there and play for coach Guiton. He’s excited as well to have an opportunity like this one he has coming up. Everybody is excited and everybody is buying into the process of what he’s trying to get done with the offensive side. Everybody is bought in. It’s been a great environment.”
