The excitement and expectations surrounding Dan Mullen and his Florida Gators were reaching astronomical levels.
10 wins, 11 wins, an undefeated season, something that wasn’t even accomplished with Tim Tebow, were being thrown around leading up to the game. This is, after all, a team coming off of a four win season that Mullen is trying to resurrect.
Well, Mullen didn’t do anything to tamper those expectations on Saturday night in his debut. The Florida Gators rushed out to an early lead and never looked back. The offense was churning on all cylinders in the first half before the backups were injected.
