Florida football: 5 UT-Martin players to watch Saturday

On paper, there are a lot of similarities between the UT-Martin Skyhawks and Florida football.

Both teams had more than 300 yards of total offense in their respective season openers.

Both teams’ defense stopped the rush of their opponents. The Skyhawks held Northwestern State to just 96 yards on the ground while Florida halted Miami to 94 yards.

Here’s a look at five UT-Martin players to watch for tonight against the Gators.

1. John Bachus III — Quarterback, R-Fr.

While the passing game wasn’t all that impressive against Northwestern State, redshirt freshman quarterback John Bachus III had 130 yards and two touchdowns on 8-for-20 passing.
