Florida Football Confidence Meter Week 12: Missouri

  • Last Season: Florida won 24-17
  • HFH Confidence Meter Preseason: 65%
  • HFH Confidence Meter Presently: 65%

Missouri did what he had to do to get past South Dakota, but as we pointed out in our power rankings, that was South Dakota, not South Dakota State.

Brady Cook was fine, going 17/21 for 172 yards and one touchdown. Cody Schrader had a solid game on the ground, going 138 yards on 18 attempts.

But relative to other SEC teams playing cupcakes, Missouri did the reverse of most teams. They started fast and cooled off massively in the second half.

Florida is still a better team than Missouri and this is one of the must-win games on the schedule for the Gators, but this is a November game in Columbia, MO.
