We are just a few short weeks away from the Florida Gators third match-up against the Michigan Wolverines in as many calendar years – and for the first time, in maybe ever, the Gators feel at least some confidence in their ability to win the game.
Sure, Michigan at one point looked destined to make the College Football Playoff and at one point the Gators look destined to pick up their third straight loss, and fourth of the season, deep into the game against South Carolina. But in a post-2001 Robert Downey, Jr. type of comeback, the Gators beat South Carolina and are in the midst of their best 10 quarters of the season, while Michigan and their “vaunted” defense just had 62 points handed to them in their biggest game of the year and could be on the verge of a major emotional Peach Bowl Game letdown, a la, Auburn in 2017.
