After a wild, weird win over Miami in Week Zero, the Florida Gators were certainly hoping for a much more straightforward affair in their home opener.
In a 45-0 romp over Tennessee-Martin, the Gators got exactly that.
But what they might have lost in the win could matter more in the long run.
Florida dominated on the field and on the scoreboard even after a slow start that featured Kyle Pitts tripping on a likely first-down catch to condemn the Gators’ first drive to just a field goal and prolonged Benny Hill routines by the Skyhawks on offense.
