Florida Gators coach Billy Napier and Florida State’s Mike Norvell didn’t need to hide their enthusiasm about this week’s high-profile games.
“It’s Florida State and LSU playing in the Superdome,” Norvell said during Monday’s weekly news conference. “Let’s go. If you’re not fired up for this one. …”
We can assume the Seminoles and Gators will indeed be fired up for their marquee games against the Tigers and No. 7 Utah. But will that fire finally make a difference in the final score? If UF and FSU truly spent the offseason turning things around, we’ll see signs of growth in this weekend’s prime-time games in New Orleans and Gainesville.
