The Florida Gators season-opening victory gave this big signal to players and fans

If Florida needed a game to boost team morale, its 53-6 rout of Charleston Southern on Saturday night did that and more.

Explosive plays on offense, guys laying people out on defense, field goal blocks and more. The Gators’ level of energy on Saturday proved one thing: the Dan Mullen era is here, and it looks different.

There was a different feel to this victory. It was evident in the tempo of the offense and the big plays made on the other side of the ball. The Gators displayed that high energy level for the entirety of Mullen’s first game as head coach.
