Florida football took advantage of its opportunity to recalibrate on Saturday night against the McNeese State Cowboys the team’s home-opener for the 2023 campaign inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. While the Gators were not perfect, they cruised to a 49-7 victory that was almost a shutout if not for a fumble in the final minutes.
The Orange and Blue marched down the field for a touchdown on their first possession but the PAT snap flew over the holder’s head, representing the first of a few mistakes made. Florida’s defense locked down the rest of the game while the offense got on track — particularly on the ground where it logged 327 rushing yards, as well as 233 yards through the air.
Following the win, the Gators Wire crew assembled to give their respective takes on what we saw on Saturday night. Take a look at the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from Week 2 of the Gators’ 2023 season.
