Before they begin a brutal October campaign, the Florida Gators polished off their September slate with a satisfying road win.
It might not have resulted in the flashiest score, but over the din of clanging cowbells and choruses of boos, the Gators grinded to a 13-6 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. A week after the offense stole the show, the defense carried Florida through.
Things started sluggish for both squads this Saturday in Starkville. After Florida’s Trey Dean was ejected early for targeting, both teams slowly trotted up and down the field but kept stalling and settling for field goals.
