Florida football traveled to Columbia, Missouri, to face the No. 11 Missouri Tigers on a cold Saturday night and nearly pulled off the upset, but instead, came away with a 33-31 loss with just one game remaining on the schedule.
Make no mistake, it was a thrilling matchup between two Southeastern Conference programs heading in different directions that saw an impressive output from both squads. The defense, however… that was another story.
Nonetheless, when the final horn sounded, the Orange and Blue found themselves with their sixth loss of the season and one last chance against the Florida State Seminoles next week. They will try to earn a bowl berth without their starting quarterback, Graham Mertz, who left this one with a shoulder injury.
In the meantime, the Gators Wire gang convened to give their respective takes on the heartbreaking loss in the heartland. Take a look at what we had to offer.
