Florida Gators run into buzzsaw in Missouri, Tigers shred top-ten team for rare ranked win at home

The Florida Gators certainly aren't the 2019 LSU Tigers.

It seemed like anything that could go right for Mizzou did.

The Tigers were able to establish their dominance on both lines of scrimmage, putting up 560 total yards and holding Florida to a shockingly low 42 yards on the ground.

Jadan Baugh, who came into the game leading the SEC in rushing yards, could hardly get it going this afternoon, only rushing for 13 yards on 12 carries.

That was by design, as head coach Eli Drinkwitz revealed in his post game presser on the field.

While Baugh entered the day with Heisman aspirations, it was Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons who put on an award-winning performance.

For the Gators, Faurot Field has proved to be a house of horrors, and Saturday afternoon was no different.

The game was never close after halftime, and at no point did the usually explosive Florida offense look threatening to the home team.

It doesn't get any easier for the Gators either.

South Carolina comes to town, then Florida goes to Austin to take on Texas before a bye week.

That stretch will tell everyone in Gainesville what this team and their new head coach is all about.

Florida didn't handle being a top-ten team very well, and now they'll have to do a bit of climbing to get back to that spot.

For the time being, however, this one will sting.
