Would love to be wrong about Billy, but he probably needs to surprise in one of the gauntlet games and take care of business against a very weak FSU to save his job.
Still, they definitely had some moments and actually put a team away, eventually.
3rd quarter ends with Kentucky at about midfield versus a Florida D that is either tiring or is being coached to give up some yards to milk the clock. Neither idea is particularly impressive, but Lagway looks like the future and we've yet to see Billy do anything truly head-scratching, so we got that going for us...
Well, THERE's the special teams breakdown that comes from not prioritizing it and tempting the football gods by calling it the "GameChanger Coordinator."
27-13 Gators after a weaving, slightly crazy KO return. And after some mild silliness, that's how we go to halftime.
Carbon copy of Florida's previous TD drive. Nice run after a long completion down the seam sets them up. Somebody is NIL'ing the living bejeezus out of Lagway next year. I hope it's UF.
Watching now. Have y'all always done Mr. Brightside? Feels like everyone's just copying Michigan now, although it's not like they own the song or anything
Pick-6 to the Gators. I don't really know how Vandagriff was ever a 5-star. That is just not an SEC starter's arm. Did he get injured in spring ball or something?
Weird sequence there. Gators intercept Vandagriff, then almost immediately Lagway gives it back on a very Freshman-y throw. Kentucky squanders the 63 yard return though, turning it over on downs because they were utterly uncreative. Florida maybe benefited from an early whistle (depends on whether you assume the DL lets up upon hearing it).
Gators still up 3-0 at end of 1st quarter and back in the red zone. Lagway looks better against UK's defense and with a proper week of preparation, but still playing a bit like a freshman. Florida D is holding up so far, but they just have that feel like Stoops is going to try to wear them out, and I'm not sure if the UF offense will be efficient enough to force UK into being one-dimensional.
