Update: Oddsmakers Remove UF vs LSU game, on rumor of Brantley injury

Las Vegas casinos removed the game, UF vs LSU from among those eligible for wagers."We're hearing that Brantley is questionable," said Jay Kornegay, Sportsbook Director at the Las Vegas Hilton. "Whenever we get confirmation, either way, what his status is, if he's playing or not, that'll make it a betting game again." A UF spokesman on Tuesday said Brantley is fine and is expected to play Saturday. Kornegay said his sportsbook may wait until as late as it can to re-post the game due to the uncertainties surrounding both Brantley and the inexperience of backup Trey Burton. "If the backup quarterback is comparable, we can usually throw it back up a little faster," he said. "But if you have a freshman quarterback that hasn't played much, and I'm not talking just about Florida, we usually try to wait as long as we can to put it back up because there's a big difference in the caliber of player."
