The Gators fought valiantly against LSU but simply did not have enough to keep up with the Bayou Bengals last weekend. That was a very flawed team headlined by a Heisman-trophy-level quarterback and some explosive players on offense, but not much else.

This Mizzou team is even better than them and the game will be played on a cold November day in the midwest. The chances of the Orange and Blue escaping hostile territory where Florida has won just twice in five tries is slim and nearly none, especially given how poorly it plays away from the Swamp.

It will not be the offensive explosion we saw before, but it will be a firm butt-whooping.
