The Week That Was: Five thoughts on the Samford game

The Gators (5-5, 2-5 SEC) outlasted Samford in a shootout in the Swamp on Saturday, 70-52. Here are my five thoughts on the game.

1. Without doing any research on the early years of Florida football, that had to be the worst defensive performance in school history.

They’ve given up more than 52 points and 530 yards in a game before, but, when you adjust for the level the competition, this was probably their worst game ever.

They were dominated across the board by an FCS team. Liam Welch threw for 400 yards. They had three receivers with 90-plus receiving yards.
