Florida Defensive Player Savaged Utah’s Stadium Before Burned for 70-Yard Touchdown

When Florida defensive end Princely Umanmielen arrived at Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium ahead of Thursday night’s game, he posted a picture of the stadium to his Instagram story.

But, Umanmielen trolled the stadium in his caption, calling it a “lil ah stadium.” He was poking fun at the smallness of the stadium in comparison to other stadiums the Gators play in.

Shortly after posting the image, Umanmielen deleted the post. However, people screenshot the picture and made sure to use it to troll him after the game started.

The first possession for the No. 14 Utes resulted in a 70-yard touchdown pass due in part to Florida’s defense on the play. Rice-Eccles Stadium erupted in cheers, proving that the stadium size doesn’t matter as long as the crowd is present.

Utah put Umanmielen in his place rather quickly.

While Umanmielen hasn’t commented on his now-deleted Instagram story, it’s likely he won’t post about another team’s stadium in the future.
