Some more from the Sun, "
Most were probably thinking, “We waited eight months for this?” ...
The much-anticipated season opener turned into a nationally televised stinker for the Gators. It wasn’t so much that they lost, but how they lost.
...Year II of Billy Napier’s rebuilding project looks painfully like Year I. The last time we saw the Gators, they crumbled under their own mistakes in the Las Vegas Bowl and were just happy to score.
...They picked up Thursday night right where they left off. Remember all those miscues and blown tackles on defense?
...When was the last time you saw a team flagged for having two players on the field with the same number?
Number 3, Jason Marshall, meet No. 3 Eugene Wilson III.
They were both on a punt-return team that didn’t quite have its act together. That 5-yard penalty gave Utah a first down, and the Utes promptly scored to make it 14-3 in the second quarter.
...That sequence came right after Adam Mihalek missed a 31-yard field goal. The Gators settled for that attempt after jumping offsides on a 4th-and-1.
We could go about UF’s self-destructive tendencies, but it’ll probably just infuriate you...
..The Gators had a whole offseason to figure things out, and they looked far too much like the 2022 edition.
