After Florida’s 41-17 swamp romp of Missouri on Saturday night, the Gators spent their postgame media session fielding questions primarily about next week’s Georgia game.
That will likely be the game that decides the Southeastern Conference East Division champion, a title that Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz set his sights on when he was introduced as head coach last December. Drinkwitz’s Tigers entered Gainesville with the momentum of a two-game win streak, but No. 10 Florida’s best players unraveled Mizzou’s defense with ease and threw a proverbial stiff-arm into the notion that Missouri can ascend to the top of the conference in just one season.
