RECENT PLAY FROM BOTH QUARTERBACKS (↓): Since Luke Del Rio went down with a knee injury in the second half against North Texas - and then Austin Appleby led Florida to 21 first-half points at Tennessee - the play from Florida's quarterbacks over the past 10 quarters of action has been unremarkable. During that stretch, both Appleby and Del Rio have combined for just 463 yards and two touchdowns against four interceptions on 56.2% passing. After Appleby struggled with reading opposing defenses and decision-making in the pocket, Florida fans hoped the return of Del Rio against Missouri would make a big difference. It didn't (as we examined closely in our film breakdown), with Del Rio struggling with his touch, under-throwing a number of his passes and making some questionable decisions in a three-interception performance.
