The Florida Gators had their first open date of the 2024 season after week four’s 45-28 road victory over Mississippi State. Billy Napier’s squad practiced on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the bye week while giving the Gators Friday and Saturday off.
“We didn’t coddle them,” Napier said on Florida’s bye week practices. “It was real in there for three days.”
“I do think our football team got better,” Napier added. “We had three really good practices Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I think the staff and the players did a great job competing. I think they competed; all three days were very competitive.
