Florida’s defense has been the story of the game so far despite the Gators trailing at halftime against Missouri, 6-9.
After horrible defensive performances against South Carolina and Samford from Florida, many expected the Southeastern Conference’s best running back, Tyler Badie, to run all over the Gators. That hasn’t been the case through two quarters of play, but Florida’s offense hasn’t done much either.
A fumble stalled the Gators’ first offensive drive and the team never really got things going until the final drive of the half. Emory Jones found Jacob Copeland for a 49-yard game but the clock reached 0:00 by the time he got out of bounds.
The defense has done its job and then some this week, so it’s up to offensive guru Dan Mullen to turn things around after the half.
