This is more like it.

This is the type of opener the Gators are used to: The kind where they can run up the score on the opposing team in a tune-up game. The kind where the final score means nothing unless it’s close. And the kind where, perhaps most importantly, previous failings can be forgotten in favor of an emphatic win.

Northern Colorado, which UF will play in its home opener this Saturday, presents an opportunity for that, having surrendered 336 yards to the College of Idaho Yotes in a 41-14 win this weekend. In short, it’s a given that the Gators should win this game.
