The Florida Gators defeated the University of Central Florida Knights 24-13 on Saturday, led by quarterback Graham Mertz, who completed 19 of 23 passes for 179 yards and one touchdown.
Despite the Gators' win, which improves their record to 3-2, fans are frustrated with head coach Billy Napier and his team's lackluster efforts in the second half after holding a halftime lead.
In his third year with the Gators, Napier has a 13-16 record and achieved a career-high AP poll ranking of No. 12 in 2022.
There is plenty of excitement surrounding the program with Mertz's hot play and the ability to get quarterback DJ Lagway into the mix, who went a perfect 4-for-4 on completions for 50 yards on Saturday on top of Mertz's performance.
