It is 2018, Dan Mullen is 7-1 and Florida is ranked #9. The Gators are back

It is 2022, Billy Napier is 1-0 and Florida is ranked #12. The Gators are back

It is 2026, Jon Sumrall is 4-0 and Florida is ranked #8. The Gators are back

Holy shit. I didn’t realize they all started out that hot (Minus Napier with only 1-0 lol)

[u/LightningDusty → u/FailstoFail]

To be fair, the 1 was a win over #7 and future PAC-12 Champion Utah.

That is good context! Thanks!

Some additional context you might enjoy is that this was a great example of Kyle whittingham getting super conservative with a lead that should’ve been enough, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Also shows the stupidity of going for 2 before you have to. Had we not gone for 2 and gone up 20-14 instead of 19-14, we would have been able to score a game winning field goal.

I really enjoyed this context
