Social media reactions before Florida’s Week 3 matchup with USF

It’s almost time for Florida to take on USF and social media is buzzing about what’s expected to be a lop-sided game in favor of the Gators.

It’s once again game day in the Swamp, and the Florida Gators are expected to put a hurting on the USF Bulls after falling to Kentucky a week ago.

The loss left a bad taste in the mouth of everyone involved on the Gators’ side and that’s what has fans and experts thinking that the score might be very, very lopsided tonight. The Bulls gave up 50 to BYU in the season opener and 20 to Howard in Week 2, so it’s reasonable to expect Florida’s offense to rebound nicely this week.

[autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] struggled in particular against UK, so this should be good for his confidence. Last year, he threw a pair of touchdowns on just three pass attempts against USF as the backup, and he also added another score on the ground while rushing for over 100 yards. If he can come close to replicating that sort of efficiency as the starter this time around, we may get to see the debut of [autotag]Jalen Kitna[/autotag] or [autotag]Kyle Engel[/autotag] at quarterback in the fourth quarter.

It’s almost game time, so let’s go over some of the last-minute buzz on Florida’s Week 3 matchup with USF.

Social media reactions leading up to Florida’s week 2 matchup against Kentucky

The Gators have arrived at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and are warming up for their clash with the Kentucky Wildcats. Check out the moments leading up to UF’s SEC opener.

As the weather cleared up in Gainesville, Florida football’s game-day festivities continued in anticipation of the SEC opener against Kentucky.

Several big-name recruits are on campus this week, and there’s a buzz in the air as Florida looks to start the Billy Napier 2-0 and avenge a loss to the Wildcats from last season. It’s also one of the few times both teams enter the matchup ranked in the top 25.

Eventually, Billy Napier led his team through the Gator Walk and fans filed into the stadium to watch both teams warm up before kick-off. [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] and Will Levis are the two first-round quarterbacks set to clash, and all eyes are on them, including those of NFL scouts and executives.

If the weather stays decent, this should be one of the better games of the weekend. Here’s a look at the best moments leading up to the game as captured by social media.

Social media reactions morning before Florida’s Week 2 matchup with Kentucky

It’s week two of the college football season and social media is buzzing about the Gators top-20 matchup with Kentucky.

There’s a lot more national attention on the Florida Gators heading into week two than there was for week one of the college football season. An upset win over then No. 7 Utah last weekend put UF back on the map, and now the Gators must defeat No. 20 Kentucky to start the season 2-0.

Last year, Kentucky ran all over Florida and won by a touchdown, the Wildcats’ second victory in over 30 years against the Gators. The difference this time around is that Florida has Billy Napier and Anthony Richardson leading it. Despite many mistakes in the season opener, Napier and Richardson kept Florida in a position to win the game through some gutsy play-calling and were bailed out by the defense at the last second.

The hope is that things won’t come down to the wire, but Kentucky features its own potential first-round quarterback, Will Levis. With starting running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. out, Kentucky will rely on Levis heavily.

Here is some of the early buzz around the college football world leading up to the first SEC matchup of Florida’s season.

Take a look at the pregame hype around the Gator Nation at Vanderbilt

Florida Gators football fans are getting excited about today’s game against Vanderbilt, here’s a look at some of the reaction from Twitter.

Another autumn Saturday, another Florida Gators game, and today’s matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores should be a fun one for the Gator Nation as their team comes in white-hot on offense while Vandy has struggled to get anything going this season.

Kyle Trask is among the nation’s best quarterbacks and his efforts have not gone unnoticed this year. The redshirt senior has been setting records playing through a most unconventional schedule and looks to put some more crooked numbers up on the board today.

As game time nears, the team and fan base begins to get riled up on social media behind the banner of Florida’s many various Twitter accounts; along with the hashtag #GoGators the Rowdy Reptiles can make their voice be heard as we all join together for our fall tradition.

Here is a look at some of the tweets over the past 24 hours as the excitement builds in a crescendo to the opening kickoff.
