The weather outside was almost as frightful as the Florida defense.
With the temperature in the 40’s and residual snow piled up on the sideline, the Gators (9-2, 6-2 SEC) shut down Missouri in their SEC finale en route to a 23-6 win in Columbia, Missouri.
After a characteristically slow start from the UF offense, No. 11 Florida outscored the Tigers (5-5, 2-4 SEC) 17-3 in the second half. That slow start was negated by the play of the defense, which allowed just a pair of field goals on the day. Linebacker Jonathan Greenard was the MVP with two sacks and five tackles for loss.
