Like many Florida fans, I went into the Oct. 4 game uncertain. ESPN professionals and Reddit users alike claimed the Texas Longhorns would comfortably win against the Gators' persistent issues this season.
After another crushing loss last night, the Gators walked away from Hard Rock Stadium looking less like a team with clear direction and more like a program caught between past renown and present doubt.
Three hundred sixty-six total yards. Almost 40 minutes of possession. Twenty-three first downs. And yet, the scoreboard read LSU: 20, Florida: 10.
We expected the football game against the South Florida Bulls Saturday would be forgotten within weeks, with the hardest games of this season right around the corner. But it will now live in infamy.
