Halftime Takeaways: Florida in danger of losing to FCS Samford

Things are not going as planned in the Swamp this week. FCS Samford leads Florida at the half.

Florida is officially on upset alert at halftime against Samford. The Bulldogs have outplayed Florida and lead the Gators 42-35 at halftime.

Florida’s offense hasn’t had too much trouble scoring, but the defense has been arguably worse than it was against South Carolina last week. Of course, head coach Dan Mullen fired his defensive coordinator earlier in the week leading many to ask if that was truly the problem.

Samford only punted once in the half and scored at will for the most part. Quarterback Liam Welch exploded for nearly 300 yards in the air and added some more offense with his legs.

The loss to South Carolina looked like it was rock bottom for Florida last week, but it looks like the program could reach new lows if things don’t change at the half.
