There are an abundance of reasons why the Gators lost their first game of the 2020 season against Texas A&M on Saturday.
There’s the fact that they allowed 32 first downs. There’s the fact that UF’s defense gave up 500 yards of offense for the second time in three weeks. There’s also the fact that TAMU converted on 12 of its 15 third-down opportunities.
But Florida coach Dan Mullen fixated on one variable during his postgame press conference.
“The crowd was certainly a factor in the game,” he said. “I know our governor passed that rule so certainly; hopefully, the UF administration decides to let us pack The Swamp against LSU — 100% — because that crowd was certainly a factor in the game.
