4-4! Will this improve today? After losing to the Georgia Bulldogs last week 34-20, Billy Napier and his squad have no option but to win. Playoffs are around, and the season is getting intense already. On the other hand, Texas is coming from a bye week all prepared. After losing their first game of the season, they made sure to win against the non-ranked team that is making waves this season, Vanderbilt, 27-24.
The competition is real! However, the Gators’ Instagram account shared a controversial post to mock Texas: “Get up! It’s Gameday! 🐊” Did they forget the 7-1 record before they put the post up? And guess what? The post captured all the attention in no time, and fans were not pleased with their approach. They say everything is fair—love and war. Hello, this is a sport! “Disrespectful,” a fan commented.
Confidence is good, but overconfidence is dangerous. Where are the Gators lacking this season? They have already started with two quarterbacks. Graham Mertz, who was Billy Napier’s first choice, had to rest for the entire season because of his torn ACL. Because of this, quarterback DJ Lagway got the opportunity to start for his team. But whether he will start today is the big question.
