Titus O’Neil has Florida fans ready to run through a wall to take on FSU in The Swamp. The former Gator defensive end known in his playing days as Thaddeus Bullard (1996-2000) brought plenty of energy, and then some, narrating the hype video for UF’s game against the Seminoles.
Bullard works in multiple references to Tom Petty for the Game 12 trailer features highlights from the 2023 season and memorable moments between the Gators and Noles.
“The moment is upon us,” Bullard begins. “Let the sun set and the showdown begin, because the Gators will congregate under the lights in The Swamp, a living, breathing, deafening force of nature. It’s time to lock the gates and eliminate all hope because there is no easy way out. Over 90,000 are about to let the country know that you can stand this team up to the gates of hell and we won’t back down.”
Bullard’s intensity only increases, all the way to his final message, “So let’s freaking go!”
Defend our house.

Florida and No. 5 Florida State are set to face off at 7 p.m. ET. With both starting quarterbacks sidelined, FSU is favored by about a touchdown. The Gators just might have a chance to pull off the upset if they bring Bullard’s energy from start to finish.
The game will air on ESPN.
