Florida football announced its 2023 football schedule on Tuesday night, which will begin with a return trip to Utah to complete the second game of a home-and-home series.

The Gators will play at Utah on Sept. 2, with the Utes looking to avenge a 29-26 loss to Florida on a game decided on an end zone interception by linebacker Amari Burney with 17 seconds remaining.
