Grad transfer Malik Zaire to get first start for Gators

"Randy Shannon has made his first big move since being named interim head coach of the Florida Gators, opting to start Malik Zaire at quarterback against Missouri."

Mizzou might get an SEC win before we do. Sad.

So, you're saying we're gonna get a SEC win?

Considering Zaire's college career to date (what little of it there is), he might be brilliant ... in an "I don't know the playbook and am not going to execute the play you just called in, but will play backyard football and win by being spontaneous and unpredictable" way.

Shannon may look like the savior of Florida football. Heck, people may even start talking about making him the new permanent head coach.

Then a week or two later, Shannon will start trying to make Zaire execute the offense as designed, and Zaire will show why he's not actually starting QB quality at this level. Will show why other head coaches left him on the bench in favor of other mediocre QBs.

But for a week or two, it could be brilliant!

I hope the kid does really good. I like seeing when coaches are showed up by a player who never sees the field.

Zaire has two dimensions. QB designed run for short game, or drop back and scramble until sacked.

That's it.

Mizzou is moving the ball at will on UF.
