GAINESVILLE, FL (352today.com) – The Gators are back in The Swamp Saturday and are looking to redeem themselves after a tough loss against Kentucky.
“Action and Attitude” are two main focuses for the Gators as of right now. Head coach Billy Napier shared in a press conference Wednesday, Oct. 4 that their game this weekend is the time for them to put those main points into play.
“We control our actions, and we control our attitude. We play Vanderbilt Saturday at 4 p.m. That’s our next opportunity, and that’s what we’re focused on,” said Napier.
The Gators suffered a 33-14 loss against the Wildcats. Napier’s mindset is they are moving forward despite the difficulties. In response to the tough loss, Napier shared that in his own life, the more challenging things he’s been through, the better he became.
