We all knew Florida had a tough task in facing the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and their dominant defense. It didn’t matter who started at QB for Florida, the Georgia defense was just too much.

Florida (4-2) travels to Baton Rouge to face-off against a LSU Tigers team trying to find their way after a 3-3 start.

Florida’s 42-0 home victory over Vanderbilt hardly registered on the radar of a crazy college football Saturday. But during the game, the spotlight was squarely on Emory Jones.

Emory Jones had a career-high four touchdowns passes, potentially quieting calls for backup Anthony Richardson, and No. 20 Florida routed woeful Vanderbilt 42-0.

Huddle up! Here’s a look back at this weekend on the gridiron, with three key takeaways from the state’s football scene.

Florida suffers their first loss of the season 31-29 at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide. In what was labeled as a “measuring stick” game, the Gators measured up to the top-ranked team in the country.

Alabama looked beatable.

Bryce Young’s first collegiate road start was a rousing success, a three-touchdown performance that helped top-ranked Alabama hold off No. 11 Florida 31-29 in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

It didn’t take Tim Tebow very long to realize Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson was different.

David Waters joins Gators Breakdown listeners for a chat ahead of the Florida vs USF matchup.

We’re 1-0!

By the time No. 13 Florida’s season opener was over, Anthony Richardson had leaped one defender, thrown another to the ground and looked so special with the ball in his hands that he might as well have had a cape dangling from his No. 15 jersey.

Florida travels to Tampa to take on the USF Bulls in what should be an easy win for the Gators. Even with a predicted blow-out win, plenty of storylines are present in the Gators’ second game of the season.

As Florida starts their preparation ahead of Saturday’s game vs USF, the conversation of QB play is already the hot topic among, and outside, of Gator Nation.

We’re hearing from Gators Breakdown listeners and their thoughts after Florida’s 35-14 win vs FAU.

The first game of the 2021 season is in the books, but it didn’t go the way many thought it would for the Gators. Quarterback Emory Jones didn’t have the best performance in his first start, while backup Anthony Richardson electrified the crowd with some nice running plays.

Emory Jones’ first career start included a touchdown pass, two interceptions and a 35-14 victory against Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.

IT’S GAME WEEK!

Florida’s defense was historically bad last season, so dreadful at times that fans were clamoring to fire everyone.

Florida’s first opponent of the season will be an experienced one. The FAU Owls will roll into Gainesville Saturday night to take on the Gators with many returning starters on both sides of the ball.

It’s been a secretive spring and fall, but it’s finally game week for the 2021 Gators!

The Gators aren’t a trendy CFP pick like they were last season, but ESPN says Florida can still impact the CFP race this season.
