Dan Mullen wouldn’t address it before the game on Saturday, especially after some of the upsets that occurred in week one, but Florida’s game Saturday provided an opportunity to look into the future.
The game didn’t go the way Florida envisioned it early on. The Gators led just 3-0 after the first quarter and only 17-0 at halftime. A game where we fully expected Feleipe Franks to be able to leave his shoulder pads in the locker room before the third quarter began saw the redshirt junior playing deep into the third quarter.
After the game, Mullen was more blunt and spoke freely about the matchup.
