Getting the W today against FSU is a lot more important to the fans than it is to Gators' success this season.
Win or lose, how the Gators respond to this game will tell us a lot about how the pre-SEC season will play out.
If we get the W, then stay hungry for subsequent games in 2019, they're on to something special. If they get the W and start believing the hype, they'll drop some games before New Year's
If the game ends in an L, the team will either double down on Mike White's desire to play crushing defense, or they'll try to free-lance too much on Offense, become selfish, and not get used to keeping the ball movement needed to get open shots.
I think the Gators will win AND stay hungry. This seems to be a VERY coachable bunch of young studs who have very high potential. If they can overcome their tendency fail to get ball movement and stand around watching a one or two-man show during the last 5 minutes of halves, they should be able to maintain leads once they get them.
Go Gators!
