Unlike their game against Alabama on Wednesday night, the Gators can’t blame their loss at No. 9 Auburn on Saturday night on a lack of effort.
They trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half and went into their locker room trailing by nine, but they didn’t throw in the towel. Instead, they scratched and clawed their way back to a one-point game with 8:37 to go. Even when they trailed by 12 with about a minute to go, they made a couple of shots and stole a couple of passes to at least make things interesting.
