Florida vs. Kennesaw State, Game Thread: Gators seek a 2-0 start

Related Topics: Florida, Terrell Burden, Todd Golden

Coming off a rout of Stony Brook in their season opener, the Florida Gators — now playing a game after the tropical storm version of Hurricane Nicole breezed through town after playing the Seawolves earlier this week — will seek a 2-0 start to the Todd Golden era against Kennesaw State on Friday night.

Let’s be real: They should get it, even if this is a tougher first-week matchup than their tipoff.

A team that hammered the limited Seawolves behind good defense and strong wing play should be able to use that same formula against the Owls, who started their season with a 99-56 romp over tiny Division III LaGrange College, whose claims to fame include having the actor who played Shawn Hunter’s father on Boy Meets World and about a dozen bit parts in Adam Sandler movies as an alumnus.
