Florida Gators In the Past
August 30th is the earliest day (not counting bowl games played at the end of a season) that the Florida Gators football teams has played a regular season game. The Gators opponent for the game was the Georgia Southern Eagles who were coached by Erk Russell. The Gators did better in their first game against the upstart Eagle beating them by a score of 38-14 than the did the last time they played the Eagles.
Since that game on August 30th the Gators have only played just five more games in the month of August and are currently undefeated in the month as they have also won contests against Southern Mississippi, San Jose State, Hawaii, Southwestern Louisiana and University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
