Like many others before Saturday, I had serious doubts about the potential of this Florida football team. Yes, it was undefeated. Yes, it had talent on both sides of the ball. But the way it won its games left a lot to be desired.
The Gators’ close Week 0 win against Miami and a dramatic comeback win over an unranked Kentucky with a backup quarterback didn’t exactly spark much confidence for me and a lot of others. Going into the Auburn game, I expected UF’s train of luck to finally reach its last stop.
But the team showed something different in its 24-13 win over Auburn on Saturday in its biggest test of the year so far.
