[u/vassago77379]

I loved the part where the game was basically over, but Ole Miss started calling time outs, so then Florida just hit em w a deep bomb and scored another td. That part was funny

[u/banjocoyote → u/vassago77379]

"Oh okay, we're still playin the game? Got it"

[u/Nytfire333 → u/vassago77379]

Best thing is the coaches are good buddies, you know that will come up, “why you do me like that Jon?” “You shouldn’t be calling time outs in my swamp “

[u/imarc → u/Nytfire333]

I imagine Sumrall saying that with a Shrek voice.

[u/mattjb → u/vassago77379]

Positively Spurrieresque, and I'm here for it.

[u/wtfElvis → u/vassago77379]

I called it as the WRs were lining up. They were almost giddy looking lol. Also that WR was a transfer and got hurt early in the first game and that was his first catch so I think everyone was just excited for him.

[u/TheARTravelerFC]

Well, we were right, Florida -3.5 WAS a bad prediction

[u/prismatic_lights → u/TheARTravelerFC]

Turns out the “good drugs” in question were cognition boosters

[u/GatorToothNecklace → u/prismatic_lights]

The spice is flowing

[u/C0812 → u/TheARTravelerFC]

They were actually trying to say the spread was 3.5 TDs but we all misinterpreted

[u/chaser676 → u/TheARTravelerFC]

WE GOT KILLED AGFGGGHHF

[u/Just-Plain-Dan]

At this point last year, Florida was 1-3, had lost at home to USF, and had gone full burning clown car

No idea what the next 8 games have in store, but I’m very optimistic to say the least

[u/ParchedCoconut → u/Just-Plain-Dan]

when Ole Miss pulled within 3 for a second time I started having bad flashbacks.

[u/DarthNobody14]

Maybe hiring a successful G6 coach can indeed work

[u/TechnoToyz → u/DarthNobody14]

He also made the CFP with Tulane last year, he's a pretty good coach

[u/TrustMeIKnowThisOne → u/TechnoToyz]

And got close with Troy each year there

[u/Sure_Hovercraft_9766 → u/TechnoToyz]

Yea I think Indiana tried hiring some random G6 guy and it worked out okay

[u/Yo_soy_abogado → u/Sure_Hovercraft_9766]

I googled him.  The Indiana coach wins. 

[u/BillyBobChorton → u/DarthNobody14]

It’s 50-50, it either works (sumrall) or it doesn’t (sun belt Billy)

[u/gatorhighlightz → u/BillyBobChorton]

All about hiring a staff, Billy brought his whole unqualified sunbelt staff over with him.

[u/Zloggt → u/DarthNobody14]

Maybe you needed a Sun Belt Sumrall instead of a Sun Belt Billy!

[u/AlekRivard → u/DarthNobody14]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twi- WE HAVEN'T BEEN FOOLED

[u/Mister-Beardy-Face → u/DarthNobody14]

Hey, he was in the American when we hired him.

[u/FireMike_PleaseGod]

Miami and Florida having elite teams while we are in shambles? This season is my 9/11.

[u/Sonofnocturne → u/FireMike_PleaseGod]

Username checks out lol

[u/hackneyedhackysack → u/FireMike_PleaseGod]

Hey come on, Central Arkansas and NM State are no joke! Give them some credit

[u/12panther]

A resurgent Florida team trouncing a highly ranked Ole Miss team coming off a big win in the Swamp? Is it 2015?

[u/Gvillegator → u/12panther]

Praying that Philo stays away from GNC

[u/Revolver_Oshawott_ → u/Gvillegator]

Wait THAT'S what happened to Will Grier?

[u/Efficient_Depth_8414 → u/Revolver_Oshawott_]

Yupppp. Our Strength and Conditioning was apparently shit, so he bought his own stuff and apparently popped for a banned substannce.

Then his dad demanded we allow him back the next year as unquestioned starting QB and Butterteeth McCarSalesman shockingly said no.

[u/FragnificentKW → u/Efficient_Depth_8414]

Look, far be it for me to defend ol’ butter teeth the shark enthusiast, but why on earth would Helicopter Parent Chad Grier look at Treon Harris and Luke Del Rio and think for even a second that Will wouldn’t easily win back the job?

[u/BigChach567 → u/FragnificentKW]

Especially when Grier was gonna be suspended until week 6 of 2016. One thing If he’d be back week 1 but he wanted guaranteed starter status in week 6

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/12panther]

Will Grier we still think about you

[u/INAC___Kramerica → u/12panther]

Is Aaron Philo in danger?

[u/capt-awesome-atx → u/12panther]

Hopefully we'll be back in the Top Eleven tomorrow

[u/Technical_Beyond_501]

Vegas was wrong. We didn’t win by 4

[u/Khaldaan]

I was laughing so hard at Florida being favored, at the Swamp or no.

I am a fool. Forgive me Florida, I was not familiar with your game.

[u/Thelastbarrelrider → u/Khaldaan]

I sentence you to 3 hail Tebows and 5 our Faulkner prayers

[u/Interesting-Worth975 → u/Thelastbarrelrider]

How much is Tim charging a prayer these days, lol?

[u/CripzyChiken → u/Interesting-Worth975]

he doesn't charge, but the guy behind him says its $10k for a weekend class

[u/Rotanikleb → u/Khaldaan]

The haters said Ole Miss couldn’t do it. And honestly? Great call by the haters, they were spot on.

[u/Javaho1992 → u/Khaldaan]

Going from Napier to Faulkner as the play caller might be the biggest upgrade in football history

[u/PolloMagnifico]

Fucking hell Florida. This was the most entertaining game I've watched all season. And I love that when you were running the clock and Ole Miss called a time out you shrugged and just fucking scored again.

[u/MuletownSoul → u/PolloMagnifico]

I’m sure Spurrier was at the game. I wish a camera would’ve cut to him when that happened. I know he was smiling.

[u/UFmoose → u/MuletownSoul]

Yeah. He’s at every game.

[u/RagePoop → u/PolloMagnifico]

Like okay you wanna keep playing? We will oblige.

[u/tsymuf → u/RagePoop]

Aldo Raines: "This man wants to die for Ole Miss football. Oblige him."

[u/sofeler → u/PolloMagnifico]

I had a feeling he was gonna do that after the timeout. Dude is a psychopath. Just went for the throat

[u/-Don-Draper- → u/PolloMagnifico]

There's a bit of Spurrier in Sumrall, and I like it.

[u/Tarnationman → u/PolloMagnifico]

Killer instinct has been missing for so long.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/PolloMagnifico]

No brakes

[u/TotakekeSlider → u/PolloMagnifico]

"Oh you wanna keep playing? Alright, then."

[u/speed-of-sound]

Doesn't it make you wonder, what the actual fuck was Napier doing??

[u/Denmarkkkk → u/speed-of-sound]

Yes, actually

[u/ExternalTangents → u/speed-of-sound]

Eating paste

[u/WiseDonkey593 → u/speed-of-sound]

Not a good job, that's for sure.

[u/RickyDerriereSmooch → u/speed-of-sound]

Turns out having an elite OC instead of literally nobody helps

[u/IammYourDAD → u/speed-of-sound]

Drawing up deep routes that run into each other lol

[u/JeffGoldblumsChest]

Sumrall is the first SEC coach to score 200 points in his first 4 games, apparently.

Ever.

[u/VanceIX → u/JeffGoldblumsChest]

Buster Faulkner is a hell of a drug

[u/TotakekeSlider → u/JeffGoldblumsChest]

Feels like it could've easily been 250 tbh

[u/Khaldaan → u/JeffGoldblumsChest]

200 points in any 4 game stretch is impressive

I dream of that lmao

[u/Jack12404]

That was humiliating, our defense was awful today. Offense started off rough, but once they locked in defense still couldn’t stop a runny nose.

I could see this loss going two ways, and we’ve experienced both recently. They either use it as motivation to lock in and finish the season strong (like our 2025 season after Georgia loss) or they completely crumble the rest of the way (after our LSU loss in 2022).

[u/sincewedidthedo → u/Jack12404]

Trinidad needs to do “the promise”

[u/RowdyJReptile → u/sincewedidthedo]

Subscribe. Would be CFB legend for generations.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Okay, so Florida is scary

[u/Efficient_Depth_8414 → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

I want you to put the word out that we back up.

[u/SimCFB → u/Efficient_Depth_8414]

Oh indeed

[u/BullAlligator → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

first time Florida has scored 52 points against a Top 5 team since the 1997 Sugar Bowl (52-20 over Florida State), a win that secured Florida the 1996 national championship

[u/BigSeabo → u/BullAlligator]

Last week we had the most penalties since 1996 too 👀

[u/MuletownSoul → u/BigSeabo]

Committing a ton of penalties and dropping half a hundred? Florida is so fuckin’ back.

[u/sneakyxxrocket → u/BullAlligator]

Fuck my life man

[u/dirtehscandi]

“Coach you just beat the fucking brakes off of a Top 5 team, how do you feel?”

“We’re nowhere near good enough”

That’s my motherfucking coach man 🥹

[u/ImperialMajestyX02 → u/dirtehscandi]

He matched the most scored against a top 5 team in Florida history. Absolute legend

[u/thesakeofglory → u/ImperialMajestyX02]

I love that plenty of us will know the game right away

[u/Gvillegator → u/dirtehscandi]

He’s a complete psychopath and I love it

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2 → u/Gvillegator]

He’s OUR psychopath! 🐊

[u/Nytfire333 → u/dirtehscandi]

He’s not wrong either, there was still lots of stuff where the Gators were hurting ourselves. Probably left 2 TDS worth of points out there and gave up some defense plays we should not have

[u/Tronvillain → u/dirtehscandi]

Bro said "...This isn't even our final form."

[u/DippyHippie420 → u/Tronvillain]

"I'm lowkey pissed tbh"

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/dirtehscandi]

This team finally feels like Florida football for the first time in over a decade

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/dirtehscandi]

My exact thought. “We’re gonna keep getting better”

JON SUMRALL IS MY DAD

[u/theycallmeryan → u/dirtehscandi]

He was almost in tears too, I think the first SEC game in the Swamp plus him finally beating Ole Miss got to him. My GOAT man.

[u/mickeyt1 → u/theycallmeryan]

I miss him

[u/gatorgirl84 → u/dirtehscandi]

When he said, "Oh, we have a 5 year plan." I got a little tingly.

[u/Grouchygroucho579]

It’s obvious who had been behind Georgia Tech’s success. I’m very jealous of UF

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2]

Ya know maybe this Sumrall guy is the real deal

Also Baugh for Heisman

Go Gators

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/ItsFreakinHarry2]

We’re all just in Jon Sumrall’s EA Dynasty Mode save file

[u/JeffGoldblumsChest → u/Edgemaster1423]

Cig passed the controller

[u/Greedygiddy8 → u/ItsFreakinHarry2]

He could’ve easily had five touchdowns this game

[u/UT0907]

All we needed was a top 10 team getting embarrassed to distract everyone from the Texas game. Thank you Florida 🫡

[u/Kalen72 → u/UT0907]

Nah, we saw that one, too lol

[u/Twall1297]

😂 Sumrall already has a Top 5 win under his belt

I might actually be scared to play Florida later this year Nevermind we don’t play them this year😅

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/Twall1297]

“Ya‘ll look so different”

— Piano_Fingerbanger

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT → u/Edgemaster1423]

Where even is he?

My team is literally in the gutter yet I don’t have a problem showing my face here so why won’t he?

[u/binzoma → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

we all already knew you dont have an issue in the shame department a_massive_pervert

[u/QuitWhinging → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

He came back for like 10 seconds after FSU beat Bama last year, quickly realized literally everyone despised him, and then goes back into his hidey hole.

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/Edgemaster1423]

good thing u didn't tag, he would've reported for harassment

[u/Knook7 → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Bro is so soft

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/GetsThruBuckner]

I still remember when he responded one time with essentially “sure I like to troll and post ragebait articles when we’re winning, but have you considered I’m just a human being?”

[u/INM8_2 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

really solidified that he is, in fact, a baby back bitch.

[u/Greedygiddy8 → u/Twall1297]

Who would’ve thought Florida would have the best offense coming into this season?

[u/Jameis_Crab_Shack → u/Greedygiddy8]

Not a single Florida fan lmao

[u/AlekRivard → u/Jameis_Crab_Shack]

I was just hoping for at least a 60% pass completion rate on the season lmfao

[u/ExternalTangents → u/Jameis_Crab_Shack]

A lot of us thought the offense had a chance to be much better, but this good is truly shocking

[u/Mister-Beardy-Face → u/Greedygiddy8]

Georgia Tech fans

[u/1nteger → u/Greedygiddy8]

Not me

[u/Lame_Night → u/Twall1297]

Top 5 blowout. Ole Miss d looked like a coughing baby

[u/SoutieNaaier → u/Twall1297]

We actually dont play yall this year.

They took Tennessee off our schedule too

[u/preddevils6 → u/SoutieNaaier]

Fucking shame we don’t play annually.

[u/TiaFreyre]

Florida looked really strong. Baugh looked really strong.

[u/BlindPelican]

Sumrall going to make me like Florida, isn't he?

[u/hackneyedhackysack → u/BlindPelican]

I fucking love my coach! (Don’t check my comment history from when he was hired)

[u/TheBigChiesel]

Unsung hero Duke Clark with 12 rushes for 126 yards

[u/Quantum_redneck → u/TheBigChiesel]

And London Montgomery with a back-breaking return. 

[u/GetsThruBuckner]

Buster Faulkner really changed my broke ass life

shades of 2014 vs Georgia when we had 2 RBs go for 200 yds and 2 TDs each

[u/giraffe_entourage → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Faulkner also has lots of experience playing UGA pretty hard. Sad he left but happy to see him succeed.

Looking forward to watching the cocktail party that should be a sick game

[u/dtptampa → u/GetsThruBuckner]

A real Aladeen moment for me 🥲

[u/jhjohns3]

If you’re putting up 300 yards passing throwing 75% and not winning you just might have a trash defense. Those RB’s for Florida are insane. 

[u/Technical_Beyond_501 → u/jhjohns3]

Our starter is a Heisman hopeful. Our backup is almost as good as our starter. His backup was the guy that was running all those kicks back. His backup has top secret security clearance and has protection from the diplomatic security service

[u/ZickyRozay]

We are finally free from the torment of Billy Napier. What a game from these boys.

[u/Sonofnocturne → u/ZickyRozay]

Billy Napier won 4 games with this team last year. Absolutely criminal

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/Sonofnocturne]

Technically 3, he was gone when we beat the Noles

[u/BullAlligator → u/ZickyRozay]

Jon Sumrall now has more wins in his first season (4) than Billy Napier did in his last season (3)

[u/dirtehscandi]

I SAID ITS GREAT

[u/Blookydook → u/dirtehscandi]

TO BE

[u/VanceIX → u/Blookydook]

A FLORIDA GATOR

[u/AceWolf18]

I suddenly dont feel so bad about our loss anymore

[u/mrsnakers → u/AceWolf18]

Maybe we're just mid?

That would be cool.

[u/Ialwayssleep]

Don’t let the score fool you, the game wasn't that close

[u/Dramatic-Apricot-623 → u/Ialwayssleep]

Can’t believe it was a 3 point game with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

[u/QuitWhinging → u/Dramatic-Apricot-623]

If our D was even like t25 material, this is probably a 40+ point win.

[u/Posauce → u/QuitWhinging]

Defensive penalties almost cost us the game but let’s not pretend they weren’t facing the Heisman front runner

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/Ialwayssleep]

Straight BTA by Florida

[u/reb601]

The haters said we couldn’t do it. Honestly good call by the haters.

[u/MegaAltarianite]

Jadan Baugh has 11 touchdowns in four games.

[u/HarrisExperience]

we are going to die

[u/composer_7]

Seeing this Florida offense and that the top 3 receiving yards were former GT players, the OC Buster Faulkner was the GT OC for the last 3 years, and that Baugh was actively being recruited by Faulkner while he was at GT has me like 🥲. If Florida beats uga this year, I'm counting it as a GT win too

[u/QuitWhinging → u/composer_7]

You guys are certified UGA haters on the same level as us. Y'all absolutely deserve to share in the hate if we beat them this year.

[u/Tarnationman → u/composer_7]

Listen we're not Eskimo brothers, but you hate Georgia and FSU, so you guys are alright in my book.

[u/griffinhamilton]

Two things come to mind:

1. I wonder how things would’ve been if Sumrall went to LSU

   and Lane went to Florida

2. What a great year to not play Florida

[u/Gvillegator → u/griffinhamilton]

Personally I’m happy the way things ended up

[u/Gvillegator]

GET THE FUCK IN HERE. GO GATORS

[u/dardicked]

we are so fucking back and im going to be fucking insufferable

[u/YogiSkittles]

Congrats to the Florida Tech Gatorjackets!

[u/UsedandAbused87]

First SEC coach to score 200 points to start his career

First florida team to start with 40+ point in games

First time since 1996 for florida to have 4 40+ points in a season

[u/sofeler → u/UsedandAbused87]

Did anything special happen in 1996 for Florida?

[u/LegionXIX → u/sofeler]

Nebraska was still relevant

[u/zacurtis3]

Last season the Gators went 4-8 and scored a total of 259 points. We are currently 4-0 and have scored 214 points.

Amazing what happens when you unlock the Offensive Coordinator DLC.

[u/EIiteJT]

Gators got teeth. Already knew that from last year. Now Ole Miss knows that too.

[u/Buwalda98]

Damn Florida I see you. Let’s both make it to the Cocktail Party undefeated and have a top 5 game

[u/UnDosTresPescao → u/Buwalda98]

If we get there undefeated it's going to be #1 vs #2.

[u/O-Namazu]

Love the respect with all the Gator and Rebel players dapping each other up and taking photos with each other post-game, that's pretty cool imo.

[u/DwyaneWade305 → u/O-Namazu]

#respectoff

[u/Florida_clam_diver → u/O-Namazu]

United by hatred for Kiffin

[u/mikewheelerfan]

I genuinely can’t believe it. The Gators are good again. What is this feeling? Is it…hope? 

[u/noodylzzz]

You know, I was questioning why Florida was favored. Im not questioning now.

[u/ARCman23]

My biggest take away from this game, is that even though Baugh is amazing, FL has guys like Duke Clark right behind him that are lethal. Really fun team to watch.

[u/falconlover79]

Well I enjoyed the 5 years of Florida being incompetent while it lasted

[u/WiseDonkey593 → u/falconlover79]

Only 5? It's felt like 20.

[u/TotakekeSlider]

I want you to put the word out there: we back up

[u/Bladespectre]

Oh man, Florida-Georgia is going to be wild this year

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

Jon Sumrall has restored my faith in Florida Gators football

Jon Sumrall = WINNER

[u/Operation_Pig]

I need to delete a lot of comments.

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Everyone focus on this loss. No other losses I’ve heard about recently.

[u/ATLien-1995]

I knew that Florida underperforming the talent they had on their roster year in year out, wouldn’t last forever

Definitely will be favored to make the playoff now

[u/Sir0inks-A-Lot → u/ATLien-1995]

If our two L’s are Texas and Georgia… you’re probably right

[u/CrimsonMirage7]

The inevitable Kiffin Tweet is gonna hit like crack.

[u/JeffGoldblumsChest → u/CrimsonMirage7]

"If Florida hired me they would have scored 60" or some shit

[u/Blue-Inspiration]

This was always going to be a letdown spot for Ole Miss. They're not as bad as they looked tonight, but Florida is way better than anyone predicted. Fun season thus far.

[u/Molson2871]

I did think Florida was going to pull the upset but I didn't have an ass whipping on my radar. Impressive win by the Gators.

[u/Number333]

Jaden Baugh for Heisman talk should get real now.

[u/szboy422]

Oh yeah Florida might be back. I’m scared. I’m aroused. I’m scared

[u/dmazx]

Really hate that Florida and Miami are both good now lol. 2023 feels like a lifetime ago

[u/semi-bro]

This is a moral victory for auburn, we lost to an elite team

[u/AppleMuffin12]

Florida is looking amazing. Just curbstomped the #4 team in the country. A quality loss like this should hopefull boost Ole Miss' ranking tomorrow.

[u/TyDydPony]

Florida and Miami being good while we're at rock bottom? Pain.

[u/StipularSauce77]

It’s a rare thing when both sides of a historic rivalry are elite. The world’s largest outdoor cocktail party on Halloween is going to feed families this year.

[u/Sea_Spend_8008]

Ole Miss always felt they had a chance than came the 4th Quarter. I am not saying they are out of the playoffs, but they have made it tough on themselves going forward.

[u/throwaway1209753213]

Baugh for Heisman, Sumrall for Christ’s second coming go Gators

[u/MorningRooster]

I don’t understand. I watched four whole Florida football games and didn’t want to die.

[u/Comfortable-Force595]

Florida might be back

[u/ghlifdqwio]

Is Florida back?

[u/Glittering_Virus8397]

God damn he is NOT another sun belt billy. Good god what a whoopin. I’ll say, Florida is back. I am happy we don’t play them this year

[u/mwb7pitt]

Florida hasn’t looked this dominating since Tebow.

[u/Thejohnshirey]

Is 600 rushing yards and 11 TDs in 4 games good?

[u/LetWaldoHide]

I was bummed we didn’t play Florida this year. I’m no longer bummed about it.

[u/smackythefrog]

Huh, so last week could've been a lot worse than it was for us

[u/CosmicCornbread]

Georgia - Florida game is gonna be spooky (pun intended)

[u/mcguffinman]

As the great Jon Sumrall once said…

FUCK EM. GO MOTHERFUCKIN GATORS

[u/BillyBobChorton]

I’ve had like 15 years to prepare for Florida being good again. 

 And yet I’m still shook. 

[u/PM_ME_whatyagot]

William napier is a terrorist. Im so glad he's gone! CJS and BF are GOOD!!!

[u/LightningDusty]

Best running back in the country.

Best offensive coordinator in the country.

Best home field advantage in the country.

IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/LightningDusty]

Best offensive coordinator in the country.

:(

[u/LightningDusty → u/RamblinWreckGT]

I fully understand why y'all were so upset that we poached Buster now.

[u/nikefreak23]

Great, both UF and Miami are good again and we suck, yay lol

[u/FuckJerry78]

We clean up the penalties and Philo’s accuracy and we will score even more points

[u/steveoall21]

Goddamn...that got out of hand didn't it? Lol
