Florida hosts UCF in long-awaited, high-stakes in-state meeting (Ep. 245)

Swamp Things: A podcast about the Florida Gators

The Gators and Knights will square off during the regular season for the first time since 2006, back when UF was en route to a national championship and UCF on its way to a 4-win season during its second season in Conference USA. Times have changed. Florida has fallen to the back end of the SEC and faces its latest must-win game under coach Billy Napier as the pressure continues to intensify in Year 3. Gus Malzahn’s UCF program, now in Year 2 in the Big 12, pushes to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Colorado in its conference opener. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar break down a game between two schools seeking in-state bragging and midseason momentum in a sold-out Swamp.
