Florida

This game was eerily similar to the Oklahoma game. FSU went into this game as 10-point favorites in front of a sold-out Doak Campbell Stadium.

Folks that went to the game said they stood the entire game. It was an important win because FSU needed to defeat Billy Napier in his first season at Florida to win the state championship.

Trey Benson ran roughshod all over the Florida Gator’s defense. Jordan Travis looked like one of the best quarterbacks in the nation as he led the Noles’ offense past the Gators.

It was the first FSU win over the Gators since James Blackman beat them as a freshman in 2017. The back-and-forth affair saw the FSU defense shut down Anthony Richardson, aside from three long completions.

The FSU defense got a final stop on their final possession to secure the win(a running theme). This win meant FSU would have a shot at winning 10 games for the first time since 2016.
