It wasn’t too pretty for the Florida Gators against Missouri, but pretty rarely wins football games.
Just glancing at the final score of 40-14 would lend one to believe it was a blowout; however, the Gators’ defense stepped up with two pick-sixes to add to the perception.
The quarterback play of Luke Del Rio was suspect at times. In fact, he threw three INTs in the win.
Here’s what Jim McElwain said after the game, according to SDS’ Andrew Olson:
"That was a fun day out there in the park." McElwain
