It’s Homecoming week in Gainesville and the Florida Gators football team is capping things off with a game against the Missouri Tigers set for noon on Saturday.
The Gators entered Week 6 with a 3-2 overall record but without a win against an SEC opponent. Early losses to Kentucky and Tennessee have hurt Florida’s national image following an upset over Utah to start the season, but a convincing win could turn the tide when the team needs it the most.
Florida is getting ready to face a trio of tough opponents (LSU, Georgia and Texas A&M), so that makes this a must-win game for the Orange and Blue. Mizzou just tested Georgia for three quarters, so this isn’t a bad team to prep for the top of the conference with.
There’s also some injury news to discuss with Florida. Cornerback [autotag]Devin Moore[/autotag] isn’t dressed for the game and it looks like he won’t be in action today.
Here’s what people are saying in the moments leading up to the game.
