A trick play backfired, leading to a downhill spiral. Defensive assistants Sean Spencer and Corey Raymond have been fired after the Gators' 5-7 season.

After defeating the #Gators, #FSU coach Mike Norvell's "climb" is one win away from the CFB Playoff. Memo to Gator Nation: Billy Napier's climb will be much steeper in the SEC. Here's my column from FSU's 24-15 win over UF: https://t.co/vrp9NnMM4D

Gators coach Billy Napier falls to 11-14 in two seasons and ends Year 2 with a 5-game skid. Throw in a shaky (still top-five) recruiting class, and it's hard to find much progress. Offense was better with Mertz for sure. Defense and special teams were mostly pathetic.
Florida was up 12-0 when Billy Napier called a trick play from midfield that backfired. Moments later, one of their DL was tossed for spitting. It's been downhill ever since for the Gators.
