Even though there hasn’t been a home game with more hype since he’s been a head coach, Mark Stoops isn’t putting Saturday night’s game on a pedestal. He knows what it will mean for the fans and recruits to beat Florida, but he felt more pressure heading into the season opener against Lafayette than he does today.
“I was glad to get that one over with. I don’t feel as much now, just your normal day-to-day pressure,” Stoops said. “Now, I just wanna go out there and play to the best of our ability. That’s what I’m looking forward to.
