Couple of thoughts on that...
1) If they're matching up 4 CBs vs. Missouri's WRs, that leaves one LB in the box and leaves Florida susceptible to zone read style runs (something Mauk is suited to run, too) and the speed option.
2) Man coverage makes it difficult to account for a QB who can scramble and run. Wouldn't be surprised to see some zone trap, QB draw style plays if Florida is running a lot of man on the outside.
3) If you can force Florida to bring its safeties closer to the LOS because of the run game (QB or RB), that opens up some opportunities deep vs. man coverage. Back shoulder throws, etc.
Will be an interesting chess match, I think.

Florida's corners are built for and excel at man, press coverage. Zone is not good. Really no other option then to line them up 1-on-1 and play.
