Florida defeated Mississippi State 45-28 behind 503 yards of total offense, improving to 2-2 (1-1 SEC) on the 2024 season. Gator Country provides five key takeaways from the Gators’ road victory over the Bulldogs.
It’s been a while
October 14th, 2023, vs South Carolina was the last time Florida beat an FBS team. That’s 343 days, for those who were counting. It was also the last time the Gators won a game away from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, where Napier previously held a 2-10 record in road or neutral site games. Those long and dreadful streaks ended today as the Gators offense dominated a poor Mississippi State defense and cruised to a three-score victory.
