Congrats to 2018 Gator Football Team

The 2018 University of Florida football team finished its regular season yesterday afternoon with a convincing 41-14 road win against rival Florida State.  First year head coach Dan Mullen has transformed this team into a cohesive, disciplined unit that not only is capable of coming from behind against its opponents but also one that is capable of bouncing back from defeat, avoiding the terrible late season slides of other Gator teams in the past few years.  Sophomore quarterback Feleipe Franks is obviously benefiting from Mullen's instruction as his play has markedly improved from last year...I expect more improvement in 2019.  And the defense, although having lost several starters to graduation, has still carried this team to several victories.  They finished 9-3, with a Southeastern Conference 5-3 record that included an upset of LSU.  Now we are waiting until this evening when the New Year's Day bowl invitations are issued...Florida stands a good chance of being included in the picture.  Before this season I remarked that all I wanted from this 2018 edition of UF football was that the offense substantially improve, that they play competitively in all their games, and that they are good enough to go to a post-season bowl game.  I'm happy to say that, with the exception of that awful Missouri game, all the above has been fulfilled.  Go Gators...

CORRECTION:  Oops, of course the bowls won't be decided until next weekend's conference championship games!
