You won’t find the trophy in his office. The last thing Kevin O’Sullivan wants in his face every day is a reminder of a season that was almost.
So where is the second-place national trophy the Gators received after taking the 2023 season as far as it could possibly go in terms of games played?
“I don’t know where it is,” Sully said. “I don’t want to look at it.
“You’re only as good as your last game and that makes it painful. You never get over a game like that, but you are forced to move on.
“I’m not motivated because we lost the last game of the year. I’m motivated because we didn’t win the last game of the year.”
The Gators are loaded again after making their first appearance in Omaha since 2018. It ended with an 18-4 loss to the LSU Tigers in the title game, but that was then, and this is now.
