Coming out of the holiday break the Gators have one final test before entering the ever-important SEC portion of their schedule and that’s a home game with the Long Beach State 49ers.
In their 13th season under head coach Dan Monson the 49ers compete in the Big West, a conference of primarily California schools that have offered some sneaky Cinderella teams in the NCAA Tournament throughout history.
Coming off what was a battle and ultimately a disappointing loss to Utah State the Gators will be trying to get some momentum before opening SEC play against Alabama, particularly on the offensive end.
