Jones will play... when you are sick like that the weight you lose isn't good amount of it is water weight.. in the pros, losing that much weight will sideline you regardless, its college he will play.
He may not be that productive or he may play through it.. plenty of athletes played and did very well when they were sick.
If we want help because of UF injuries etc the only way is Driskell, he will not be taking a hit until the first game and the hope is they show up thinking nobody is going to be in the stands and it catches them off guard.
don't ever underestimate you opponent. UF is not a bs team, they have playmakers.. they have had enough issues off season for it to effect their game.
I said it many times.. this game will be won / lost by the coaches. an average team can beat a top talented team if they get out coached. Miami may come in saying we will pressure Driskell and stop them on O, and Driskell comes out firing .. we don't make that adjustment we are done.
If UF comes out saying we are going to hammer the ball until that low ranked D gives up and Miami D improved as we all think they did and gets bunch of stops UF is toast. Both teams can win and both teams can lose this game
