Gators DEMOLISH Ole Miss & PROVE Something UNEXPECTED This EARLY! | UF Football · A Peek Inside Gators Football: A Show About the Florida Gators

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome back to A Peek Inside Gator Football.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: This is Allie Peek and guys, I am so excited
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to talk to you all about this one. This video is,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of course, presented by PrizePix. Don't forget, new users can
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: download the app. You can play a $ 5 lineup using
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: our code. It's HMA. And if you win, you'll get
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: $ 150 in lineups instantly. All right. So Florida just beat
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the number four team in the country, 52-28. 52. against
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. And I don't even really know where to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: start with this one because there are games where, you know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you sit back afterwards and you analyze what happened. And
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: then there are games where you just kind of have
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about how it felt. This game felt different.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: The swamp felt different. Florida football felt different. And I've
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: said this forever. When the swamp is truly the swamp,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: when Florida is good, when the crowd believes, when there
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is something meaningful on the line and that place gets going,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: there is no better environment in college football. None. And yesterday,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the swamp was the swamp. It was loud. It was nasty.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It was emotional. There was an energy in that stadium
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that we have not felt consistently in a long time.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And then Florida gave the crowd reason after reason after
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: reason to get even louder. The Gators didn't sneak past
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the number four team in America. They didn't need a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: miracle at the end. They didn't survive. They beat them 52-28.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They ran for more than 300 yards. They scored touchdowns
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on five straight possessions in the second half. They didn't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: turn the football over once. And every single time possible,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss looked like it was about to make something happen,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Florida punched them right back in the mouth. So let's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: get into it. Florida and Ole Miss, the good, the bad,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the ugly. And I'm warning you now, there is a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: lot of good. We're going to start there. It's the obvious,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere. Because before we get into Jaden Baugh and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Duke Clark, and before we talk about Aaron Filo or
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: this offensive line, I want to talk about the swamp.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That was special. That was what college football in Gainesville
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is supposed to look like. When the stadium is rocking,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you can see the effect it has on the opposing team.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And I know every fan base thinks it has a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: great home field advantage and their stadium is special. Every
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: SEC school will tell you theirs is the loudest. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the swamp at its absolute best, there is nothing like it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And yesterday was one of those days. Florida got off
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to a fast start. The crowd got into it. Ole
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Miss looked uncomfortable. And then every time Ole Miss finally
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: did something to quiet the place down, Florida gave the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: fans another reason to completely lose their minds. That relationship
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: between the team and the crowd is something Florida has
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: desperately needed back. The players feed off the stadium. The
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: stadium feeds off the players. And when both of those
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: things are happening at the same time, Gainesville becomes an
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely miserable place for the other team. Yesterday, it was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: miserable for Ole Miss, and I loved every second of it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But there's a lot more good to talk about. What's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the next one? How about the running game? Florida ran
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the football down Ole Miss' throat. There is really no
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: prettier way to say that. They finished with 302 rushing yards. 302.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: They ran it 53 times. Ole Miss knew they were
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: going to run it. Everybody watching the game knew Florida
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was going to run it, but Ole Miss still couldn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: stop it. And that's the impressive part. This was not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: some gimmicky offensive performance. Florida lined up and said, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: think we're more physical than you. Stop us. And Ole
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Miss couldn't. And that starts with Jaden Baugh. 29 carries,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: 142 yards, three touchdowns, another 100-yard game. That is now
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: five straight games over 100 yards rushed by Jaden Baugh.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Do you know the other Florida players who have done that?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: There's two other guys. Emmitt Smith, Fred Taylor. That's it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Now you can add Jaden Baugh to that list. That's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the company he's keeping. And what I love about Baugh
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is that everything he does doesn't have to be like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: some 70-yard run. He beats you up four yards, five yards,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: six yards, then another five, then another four. And eventually
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the defense starts looking like they want absolutely no part
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of tackling this dude anymore. And when Florida needed tough yards,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he got them. When Florida got near the goal line,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he finished drives. And when Florida needed to slam the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: door late, Jaden Baugh got done. Got it done. Three touchdowns.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think we need to qualify this anymore. Jaden
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Baugh's the best running back in college football. Period. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: don't really think there's any debate there. And then Ole
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Miss finally gets Jaden off the field for a moment.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And here comes Duke Clark. Good luck. 12 carries, 126 yards.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That is 10.5 yards per carry, guys. And his 45-yard
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: touchdown run in the third quarter might have been my
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: favorite offensive play of the entire game. Think about what
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: had just happened. Florida had controlled the first half. They
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: went into halftime up 17-6. Ole Miss comes out after halftime.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Chambliss runs for a touchdown. Then they get the two-point conversion.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Suddenly it's sitting at 17-14, and you can feel it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Everybody's thinking, okay, here we go. Ole Miss woke up.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Now we have ourselves a football game. And what does
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Florida do? Duke Clark takes one 45 yards to the house. Boom, 24-14.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That is what good teams do. They answer. They do
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not panic. They do not suddenly forget everything that got
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: them the lead. They just answer. And that leads perfectly
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: into my biggest takeaway from the entire game. Florida answered
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: every single time. Ole Miss cuts it to three, Florida scores.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss cuts it to three again, Florida scores. Ole
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Miss starts getting momentum, Florida takes it away. That is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: something we have not always seen from Florida football, certainly
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not recently. There have been too many games over the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: last several years where you could almost feel the collapse coming.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The other team scores, something goes wrong, crowd gets nervous,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sideline gets tight, and you start thinking, okay, here we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: go again. But that didn't happen yesterday. Ole Miss made
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it 17-14. Florida answered. Ole Miss made it 24-21. London
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Montgomery takes the kickoff 74 yards. Florida scores again. Then
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Jaden Woods gets the strip sack. Miles Graham recovers it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Florida scores again. That sequence completely changed the game. That
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is killer instinct. Now let's talk about London Montgomery too
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because this is one of those performances that can get
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: lost when you look at just the box score. Ole
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Miss scores and gets right back into the football game.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You're looking for somebody to make a play. Montgomery takes
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the kickoff 74 yards. That instantly flips the emotion in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: this stadium. Think about how deflating that has to be
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for Ole Miss. You fought your way back. You finally scored.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: You finally quieted the swamp for about eight seconds. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: suddenly Florida is right back by the goal line. That
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is a huge special teams play. We're going to talk
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: about special teams in a minute. But first I want
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about Aaron Filo. I actually
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: think one of the best things about Philo's performance is
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that we didn't have to sit here and pretend that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he played some superhero game. He was 16 of 23,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: 196 yards, one passing touchdown, no interceptions. He also ran
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But the key number, zero turnovers. He
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: took what Ole Miss gave him. He made the throws
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: when Florida needed him to make the throws, but he
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: didn't put the football in danger. And he let Florida's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: running game destroy Ole Miss. That is maturity. Your quarterback
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to throw for 450 yards every week. Sometimes
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it's his job to recognize, hey, they can't stop our
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: running backs. Maybe I should just get out of the way.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And then when Florida needed Philo to make a play,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: he made one. That touchdown pass to Amir Jackson in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter felt like a dagger. 45-28. Good night.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: We also need to talk about this offensive line. We're
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: going to take a quick break from this video to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: give some love to our friends over at Alumni Hall.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And guys, they want to give some love right back
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to you. They have given us a code. It's PEAK15.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That's P-E-E-K-1-5. It'll get you 15% off your entire purchase
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: at the store on Archer Road in Gainesville, but also
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: online at alumnihall.com. They've got all the top brands that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you're looking for this season. They've got Cutter and Buck,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Peter Millar, Jordan, Nike, everything that you're looking for. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: make sure you check them out. Make sure you tell
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: them Allie sent you. Use that code PEAK15. We appreciate
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Alumni Hall for all their support. You don't run for
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: 302 yards against the number four team in the country
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: without dominating somebody up front. Florida carried the ball 53 times. 53.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: There was no mystery about what Florida wanted to do.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss knew what was happening, and Florida kept moving people.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That is SEC football. There are all kinds of offenses now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Spread offense, tempo, RPOs, motion, misdirection, all of that's great.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But sometimes football is really simple. Can I line up
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and physically whip the guy standing across from me? Yesterday,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Florida could. Do you know how physical you have to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be to run the ball 300 plus yards on 53 carries?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: We need to tip our hat right now to coach
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Phil Trotwine because that offensive line is so much better
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: than we imagined they could be over the summer. We
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: spent the entire summer talking about how if this line
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: could be serviceable, these skill players were good enough that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Florida would be able to score points. I don't think
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in our wildest dreams we imagined that this offensive line
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: would look this good four games into the season. Blank
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: check for Phil Troutwine. Make this his home till he retires.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: My goodness, what a performance. Another coach we've got to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: give a round of applause to, give our flowers to,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is Jonathan Galante and the special teams. Florida's special teams
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: didn't just avoid mistakes. They actively changed the game. That
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: unit helped Florida control field position, protect momentum, and maybe
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: most importantly, take momentum right back every time Ole Miss
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: started to grab it. That's what stood out to me.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss would score, the game would start to tighten up,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and instead of Florida looking rattled, that special teams unit
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: would immediately flip the field and put the offense in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: position to answer. The biggest example of that is this
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: kickoff return we've already talked a little bit about by
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: London Montgomery. This happened right after Ole Miss cut the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: lead to 17-14. It was a huge moment. Ole Miss
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: had finally gotten the swamp a little quieter and made
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it a three-point game. One return later, Florida was right
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: back in business. two plays later, touchdown. That is the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: kind of play that completely changes the emotional flow of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: this game. And outside of that strip sack, which I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: would probably list as the biggest single play of this game,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: special teams was it. They won this football game. They
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: changed the momentum of this game. And this is why
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I've sat on this channel for the last three years
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and railed about the importance of special teams and showed
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: my confusion and my frustration that it was not something
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: we were taking seriously because not only is it a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: third of a game, but it is the quickest way
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to change momentum, to change outcomes of the game. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that we have a coaching staff now that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: realizes it, that considers it an honor to play special teams,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We're headed in the right direction, guys. And what about
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Patrick Durkin? He hit that 49-yard field goal early. He
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: handled the extra points. Give Florida exactly what you want
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: from that position, which is consistency. There's no drama there.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: There's no missed opportunities, just points. And overall, that unit
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: looks organized and aggressive and confident. Florida created hidden yardage.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: They won field position. They had explosive returns. They got
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: points from the kicking game. And they never gave Ole
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Miss an easy special teams moment that could swing things
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the other way. You guys know for so long, special
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: teams around this program has felt like something that you're
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: just kind of hoping isn't going to hurt you, but
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you knew it wasn't going to help you. Yesterday, special
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: teams helped Florida win that game. Big tip of the cap, too,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to Alec Clark. Listen, this is a guy that has
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: punted five times total four games into the season, but man,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: when he touches the football game or touches the football,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it counts. That 70-yard punt down onto the two-yard line,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: we'll take it. Guys, when you are trying to beat
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a top five team You can't just win on offense
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and defense. You have to win the entire game, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Florida did that. Special teams, major part of this effort.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: How about another good? The defense made plays when it
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: had to. Was it perfect? No. We'll get there. But
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: when Florida needs the defense to completely change a game,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they've got it. Jaden Woods did it this week. Strip sack.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Miles Graham recovers. Florida turns it into seven points. That
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: was massive. And then late in the game, DJ Coleman
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: gets that interception. Florida forced two turnovers. They committed zero.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You want a recipe for beating a top five team?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good place to start. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: one more good before we move on. The second half
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: offense as a whole. Florida scored touchdowns on its first
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: five possessions of the second half. Five straight against Ole Miss,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: against the number four team in the country. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: 35 second half points. That is insane. This was 17-6
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: at halftime. Florida scored 35 after halftime. Ole Miss actually
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: scored 22 points in the second half and still lost
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the second half by 13. That is crazy. Now let's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: move into the bad. There really isn't a ton here,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and it almost feels ridiculous complaining after you just beat
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the number four team in the country, 52-28. But we
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: always do the good, the bad, and the ugly, so
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I had to find something. So I think the biggest
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: thing for me is that Florida still gave up too
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: many explosive plays through the year. Ole Miss finished with
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: 426 yards on offense. Trinidad Chambliss threw for 298 yards.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Deuce Alexander had 134 receiving yards. There were moments, particularly
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter, where Ole Miss was finding things.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Chambliss is really good. We knew that going into the game.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And Ole Miss has athletes everywhere. So I am not
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: expecting Florida to hold them to 150 yards. But as
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the schedule continues, there are going to be quarterbacks who
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: can punish you if you allow chunk plays. So Florida
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: has to clean some of that up. You cannot always
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: depend on scoring 52. Although right now, apparently Florida thinks
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that it can. But let's clean that up a little bit.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: The other bad is penalties. Florida had eight penalties for
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: 92 yards. I think that's too much. You can survive
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: it when you rush for 302 yards. Don't turn the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: football over and score 52 points. But eventually that will
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: bite you. 92 yards is basically an entire football field
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: worth of penalties. So let's clean that up. And then
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: obviously the biggest concern coming out of this game is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Vernell Brown III. He left with a knee injury, did
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: not return. We'll see what the diagnosis is, and hopefully
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: we'll get some good news. I was told that it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a strained PCL, which is not something we hear about
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: every day, but I think that's a lot better probably
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: than an ankle. That generally has about a two- to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: four-week recovery period. We'll see. I'm sure we'll find out
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: more at Monday morning's press conference. He's been one of
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Florida's most explosive players, and you saw Florida miss an
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: opportunity earlier when Philo had him open downfield and just
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: missed him. Florida also had that big Brown touchdown wiped
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: away as well. So this could have been an even
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: bigger day for Vernell. The good news is that Florida's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: offense didn't collapse when he left. Other guys stepped up.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Montgomery stepped up in the return game. The running backs
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: completely took over. But Brown is a major part of
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: what Florida wants to do. So obviously this is something
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to watch. Now let's move on to the ugly. The
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: ugly is pretty simple. Ole Miss trying to tackle. That's it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That's the ugly. I don't know what else you want
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: me to say. Jittenbaugh was running through them. Duke Clark
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: was running around them. Florida's offensive line was just moving them.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding basically summed up
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the entire thing after the game when he called it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: an old-fashioned butt-whooping. And he's right. There is no advanced
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: statistic needed for that. There is no film school explanation
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you need to find. Florida whipped them. 302 yards rushing,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns, 498 total yards, 52 points. Florida possessed
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the football for almost 37 minutes. Ole Miss had it
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: for 23. That's an ugly day if you're a defensive coach.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to add one more thing to the ugly.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: How about the fact that Florida scored 52 points, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that's a lot, guys, but they actually left points on
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the field. Think about that. We just talked about that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: BB3 touchdown that was wiped away. Florida missed him on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: what could have been another explosive touchdown. There was a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: failed fourth down in Ole Miss territory. This game could
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: have been so much worse against the number four team
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: in the country. That is ridiculous. Florida is basically a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: couple tiny things away from having scored 70 points against
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. Ridiculous. All right, guys, my final thoughts. Florida
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is 4-0. They're 2-0 in the SEC. It's the first
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: 4-0 start since 2019, first 2-0 SEC start since 2019.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They have now scored 66 in Game 1, 52 in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Game 2, 44 in Game 3, 52 in Game 4.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And that's four games into Coach Summerall's tenure. Four. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: know we're going to spend this whole week talking about rankings.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about where Florida belongs nationally. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the playoff. And we're going
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about Missouri. And there's plenty of time for
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: all of that. But I think for one day... Gator
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: fans should just enjoy this. Yesterday felt like Florida football.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It felt like what it's supposed to feel like. It
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: felt like what it used to feel like. It felt
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: like Florida football. The stadium was alive. The fan base believed.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The players believed. And the team played with confidence and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: physicality and swagger. John Sarmel kept talking about waking up
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the sleeping giant all summer long. After the game, he said,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it's not fully awake yet. It's just starting to stir. Well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: if beating the number four team in America, 52-28, while
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: running 302 yards is the beast just starting to wake up,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I would really like to see what happens when it
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: opens both eyes. Because when Florida is good and the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Swamp is alive, there is nothing better in college football. Nothing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Florida 52, Ole Miss 28, the Gators are 4-0, and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say the Swamp is back. Guys,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: let me know down in your comments if you were
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: watching it at home, how loud did the stadium sound?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite play? If you were in that stadium,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: are you with me that you think that's the loudest
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you've heard it in years? I want to know down
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: in the comments. Big thank you, as always, to PrizePix.
