Billy Napier’s team seeks a rare road win when the Gators head to Starkville to face the Bulldogs. UF is just 2-10 away from Gainesville under Napier, but is a surprising six-point favorite against the rebuilding program under first-year coach Jeff Lebby. A Florida win entering a bye week could stabilize a chaotic situation a bit before UCF’s Oct. 5 visit to the Swamp. A Gators’ loss could spell the end of Napier. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar discuss what Florida needs to do to avoid falling into the SEC cellar.
