Treyaun Webb - Held in check despite win Webb posted four carries for 12 yards during Saturday's 45-7 victory over Samford.
Impact Webb found the end zone in the season opener versus Miami, but was largely held in check despite Florida blowing out Samford. Montrell Johnson Jr. is the undisputed starter so Webb will vie with Jadan Baugh, Ja'Kobi Jackson and KD Daniels for touches otherwise. The Gators face Texas A&M next in a game where Webb is unlikely to see much work.

Impact Badger flashed his big-play ability with a 77-yard grab from quarterback DJ Lagway. Badger also had three catches in the opener and looks like the No. 2 wideout for the Gators behind Eugene Wilson III. Florida starts SEC play next weekend versus Texas A&M.

Eugene Wilson III - Explodes in win Wilson III reeled in 6 of 8 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-7 win over Samford.
Impact Wilson caught seven passes in the season opener versus Miami, but did not have the explosive plays that he did in this contest. The cupcake matchup certainly helped his cause as well, though, so it will be interesting to see how he fares against Texas A&M next weekend. Regardless, though, Wilson should be heavily targeted.

Impact Warner served as the backup to DJ Lagway at quarterback with Graham Mertz (concussion) sidelined. Assuming Mertz recovers soon, Warner will likely be barely an afterthought starting next weekend versus Texas A&M.

DJ Lagway - Monstrous performance in romp Lagway was 18-for-25 passing for 456 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-7 win versus Samford.
Impact Lagway lined up under center for the injured Graham Mertz (concussion) and had his way with the lowly Bulldogs. Lagway is an extremely highly-touted recruit, but Mertz played well last season and this was a cupcake matchup, so it remains to be seen who will start at quarterback against Texas A&M next weekend if Mertz is healthy.
