A COVID-19 outbreak affecting dozens of Florida Gators players has now led to the postponement of not one but two games on their 2020 schedule

Florida’s game against LSU, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 17 before being postponed Wednesday, is now officially scheduled for Saturday, December 12, while Florida’s game against Missouri, originally scheduled for Saturday October 24, has been postponed a week to Saturday October 31

Florida-Missouri will be televised at 7:30 p.m. on the SEC Network secondary channel This game is set to be Florida’s first against an enemy other than Georgia on Halloween or in a Halloween night game since meeting in 1987 against Auburn

(Florida lost that trip to Auburn, 29-6, in part because Jeff Burger of the Tigers reinstated his eligibility after agreeing to free plane travel for a dove hunt earlier this month. varsity, baby!)

Florida’s schedule now features seven straight games against enemies of the SEC, from Halloween to a fortnight before Christmas, the most bizarre end-of-season period imaginable in a season that continues to take turns without previous and will end with back-to-back fixtures against Kentucky, Tennessee, and LSU – all regular enemies from start to mid-season for the Gators

Florida also won’t get a week off right before playing Georgia for the first time since 2009. The Dawgs won’t be resting that week either, as their game with Kentucky was originally scheduled for October 24 was postponed for a week to help adjust to other SEC schedule changes
