Steve Spurrier has instilled a swagger in Florida players, and that extends to former Gators QB Shane Matthews, who is fully on board with the program under Dan Mullen.

Spurrier and Matthews participated in a roundtable discussion on 1010 XL/92.5 FM about the Gators season, including a shot at Kentucky, and a criticism of Missouri’s environment.

But they saved the strongest comments for the Gators matchup against Alabama.

“We get Bama, Coach has already predicted we’re going to get Bama,” Matthews said.

Spurrier added, “I think we’re going to pull the upset.”

Matthews: “You get Bryce Young, and they’ve got a very young offensive line. I know they’re concerned about their offensive line, although they’re all 5-stars. But Bryce Young, I mean we don’t even know if he’s going to be the quarterback when he comes in here. He might get benched against Miami for all we know.”

Spurrier: “Can you bench a guy that’s getting a million dollars?”
