No. 9 Florida (6-2, 4-2 SEC) suffered a disappointing 36-17 loss to No. 7 Georgia, sure to send the Gators down the polls and virtually out of the SEC East race.
After the game, UF head coach Dan Mullen met with the media and commented on his squad’s three turnovers, injuries, post-loss outlook, poor execution and more.
‘That might have been our worst execution performance of the year. I’m disappointed in that,’ Dan Mullen said.
