The Gators have gone on an emotional rollercoaster over the last few months.
After starting the season 3-1 and coming up just short against No. 1 Alabama, the possibilities seemed limitless. Though they didn’t view that game as a moral victory, they clearly gained confidence by the way that they played, and they publicly talked about wanting to win out and earn a rematch with them in the SEC Championship Game.
Then they lost five of their next seven games, which included three one-score losses but also a couple of ugly blowouts to Georgia and South Carolina.
