The Florida Gators came away victorious from their Week 3 meeting with the USF Bulls, but it took everything they had and a bit of luck to get the job done, 31-28.
There’s no way to be kind about it. Florida was outplayed by an inferior opponent at home and things look as bad as they were a year ago at this point. The loss of [autotag]Ventrell Miller[/autotag] proved to be just as devastating as it was in 2021 and the Bulls gashed the Gators for 286 rushing yards. Pass protection was a bit better, but the big story is of course on offense with the continuing struggles of [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag].
The first-year starter threw another pair of interceptions and failed to score for the second-straight week. There’s still a lot of time left in the season for Billy Napier, Richardson and the Florida Gators to right the ship, but this victory was as hollow as “winning” gets in sports.
Here are six takeaways from Florida’s tight win over USF.
