Behind the Numbers: Florida Gators vs. Missouri Tigers

The Florida Gators once again played a sloppy game against the Tigers of the University of Missouri – but unlike last year, came out victorious 23-6.

While the offense seemed to sputter for most of the day, they didn’t let the 11:00 AM local kickoff time hinder their ability to walk away with a win in what could have been set-up to be a trap game. Missouri, which boasted a top-10 defense, allowed the third-most yards they allowed all season to Florida and Florida was able to get creative to move the ball. All the while, the Gators defense was able to lock down Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant and never looked like they wouldn’t win in Columbia, Missouri – including a stellar performance from Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week Jonathan Greenard.
