466: "Naked Dogs"

Aaron Philo is QB1, Todd Golden gets paid, and game week is finally here. Dan, Nick de la Torre, and Jordan Scarlett break down Florida's quarterback decision, the secondary, the safeties, and special teams ahead of the Gators' season opener against FAU in The Swamp.

WHAT WE GET INTO:

- Aaron Philo named the starter — why it took this long, and what it means for the QB room

- The chemistry question: Philo vs. the receivers he hasn't thrown to since spring

- Where Philo stacks up in an SEC quarterback field that is thinner than people think

- Buster Faulkner's offense: running it between the tackles and getting weapons in space

- The Graham Mertz comp — and why "fine" might be exactly good enough

- Florida's cornerback room: Ben Hanks, Cormani McClain, Dijon Johnson, Jovari Flowers

- Star/nickel with Kaneil Clark, plus the safety room — Bryce Thornton, DJ Coleman, Cam Dooley, Alfonso Allen

- The standard of the No. 1 jersey at Florida: Reggie Nelson, Janoris Jenkins, Keiwan Ratliff

- Special teams: Patrick Durkin, Aussie punter Alec Clark, and why an elite holder matters

- Punt and kick return battle — VB3, Jaylen Lloyd, Justin Williams
