Are you tired of retorting, “Oh yeah? Well our academics are better,” when a Florida State fan asserts their football team’s superiority? I would be. The Seminoles have won four straight matchups against the Gators by an average margin of nearly 20 points.
Despite a down season for Florida (4-6), the Gators remembered how to win on Saturday, snapping a five-game skid in 37-6 fashion over UAB (7-4). And while the Blazers aren’t exactly a powerhouse — ranked last of all FBS teams in strength of schedule — the Gators’ victory gave me three reasons to think UF has a shot to knock off the ‘Noles (4-6) next week.
