Good, Bad and Ugly: What’s left to say about Florida football after Saturday’s loss?

While many had doubts about Florida, nobody saw Saturday night’s shellacking of the Gators coming.

The Gator Nation is reeling after a devastating road loss for the football team against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, putting the program’s postseason plans in peril as the end of the regular-season schedule nears. What was supposed to be a relatively easy win for Florida turned out to be an embarrassing rout at the hands of a team that barely beat Vanderbilt, getting blown out by a score of 40-17.

The flame under head coach Dan Mullen‘s hot seat grew exponentially after the lackluster showing by his team, which has become too common of a trend over the 2021 campaign. With the carnage now in the rearview mirror, the Gators Wire staff presents its post mortem of the carcass that remains after the brutal defeat.
