Good, Bad and Ugly: What positive takeaways are there from Florida’s loss?

The Gators Wire staff reacts to Florida’s complete collapse in the 2022 Las Vegas Bowl.

Florida football floundered in the 2022 edition of the Las Vegas Bowl against the Oregon State Beavers, who pummeled the Gators to the tune of a 30-3 defeat that nearly snapped the Orange and Blue’s nation-leading scoring streak. That run nearly came to an end until a late fourth-quarter field goal spared [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] from ignominy as he wraps up his debut campaign.

Make no mistake about it, this was a difficult game to watch for the Gator Nation as its beloved football team looked completely lost on offense while the defense was simply outmanned by the top-20-ranked Beavers. While many expected OSU to finish on top, few foresaw Florida’s impotence on offense.

The Gators Wire gang convened after the conclusion of the embarrassing postseason loss to give its collective takes on what they saw on the field Saturday afternoon. Take a look below at what each of us had to offer on the final game of Florida’s 2022 season.
