Florida Gators @ Mississippi State Bulldogs September 21 // 12 p.m. ET // Starkville, Miss. ESPN

I know the naysayers are gonna say we played a week opponent, but I think we played a good game today and this is what we needed. Defense needs some serious work, however. Looking forward to the matchup with Ucf.

 

Conference names have been meaningless every since the Big Ten went to 11 teams about 30 years ago.

 

I think we still make the playoffs if we win out...

 

MSU next 2 games are road vs UTx and road vs UGA. Godspeed.

Edit: and November preview?

 

Well at least we aren't the worst team in the sec, that's something I guess. Positive game going into the bye week. Hard to see Napier getting fired after this one as some expected.

A lot to like about the offensive performance, but as has been said this defense is just scary bad. Seems like we have given up 50, not 28.

 

Twikweze is playing well.

 

2 freaking incompletions? OUTSTANDING!

 

Hey Chiles with a sack, nice

 

Nice Aaron!

 

Which, before the season, really wasn't an option.

Billy has an almost impossible path to keep his job. He'd have to go on a tear here in October and I just don't see it happening. I frankly think UCF beats us in 2 weeks and that's probably the final straw for Nape.

Wish him well. But he just wasn't the fit for us.

Even if we beat UCF, Tenn will utterly terrorize this defense the following week. And then UK the next week likely out-physicals us yet again as well. It just doesn't get any easier - it gets worse.

 

For real.

 

Bridges seems to come down on the ball pretty aggressively, but the rest just hang out.

 

Chiles (freshman) coming off the corner with a nice sack.

 

Is 4 Cormani?

 

Defensive excellence on queue.

 

4th and 15 and they get the 1st. Unfreakingbelieveable

 

My god those corners are just not good.

 

There’s former Gator commit Creed (Trent’s lil bro) Whittemore

 

These refs want them to score...

 

Defense will not be any better . Truly embarrassing
