What Dan Mullen said after Florida's blowout win over Arkansas

Dan Mullen looks to be on track to head to his first SEC Championship Game since his days as Urban Meyer’s offensive coordinator. No. 6 Florida hasn’t secured the SEC East title, the Gators are looking like the top team in the division (while holding the Cocktail Party tiebreaker) after their 63-35 win over Arkansas on Saturday night

In his postgame press conference, Mullen discussed the offense’s performance down elite play-maker Kyle Pitts, the importance of not letting up in the second half, facing Feleipe Franks and more.

Here are the highlights of what reporters in Gainesville shared:

Mullen says the guys did a great job being ready when their number was called. "next man up mentality."

Mullen says he's proud of Feleipe Franks and had a good game. "I thought Feleipe played pretty well. We got after him. I think some guys had been waiting years to hit him."

Mullen says he’s not the greatest pat-on-the-back guy during games. There were memes when Mullen was critiquing Kyle Trask after his fifth TD.
