Florida hosts Arkansas at 7 p.m. Saturday on ESPN. Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman is COVID positive and will miss the game, with defensive coordinator Barry Odom serving as the interim coach.

UF did have one positive this past week for a non-football player out of 345 total tests on all student-athletes.
