Betting on Florida Gators Football
One of the top Florida college football teams, the Gators of the University of Florida are a Division I NCAA football team. Home games are played at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, better known as "The Swamp". Seating capacity runs a generous 88,548, and currently Will Muschamp reigns as head coach. Florida first started playing in 1906, coming to national prominence in 1990 under then head coach Steve Spurrier. When Spurrier took over the reins, the Florida program had never won a Conference Championship in its 83 years of existence. Spurrier had previously won the Heisman Trophy as a Gator quarterback. QBs Danny Wuerffel (1996) and Tim Tebow (2007) are the only other Florida Gators to win the Heisman Trophy. The Gators claim 3 National Championships and 8 Southeastern Conference titles, and are serious rivals to the Florida State Seminoles football team, another high performance team representing the Sunshine State.

The Florida Gators Football Team in the 2014-2015 Season
The Florida Gators entered the 2014-2015 season with high expectations. However, the season spiraled out of control, which led to the firing of head coach Will Muschamp.. Although the season got off to a promising start at 3-1, consecutive losses to Missouri and LSU dropped them to 3-3 overall and 2-3 in the SEC. Some hope of salvaging the season was restored after following up those losses with consecutive wins over early national contender Georgia and Vanderbilt. However, a loss to South Carolina the following week was what led to the dismissal of Muschamp. It was a decision that fans had long hoped would come after years of tough losses. He also drew disdain from fans after bringing in a recruiting class for 2014 that ranked below Florida State and other top SEC schools
The Gators earned their sixth win of the season and bowl eligibility with a 52-3 victory over Eastern Kentucky at home on Nov. 22. They added victory number seven with a 28-20 win over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl. Throughout the 2014 campaign, the Gators struggled to get anything done through the air, which meant relying heavily on Matt Jones and Kelvin Taylor on the ground. The two both averaged over five yards per carry in 2014 and both had over 150 yards rushing in a 38-20 victory over Georgia. Although Florida's quarterbacks struggled passing the ball, they still managed to average more than four yards a carry and score seven combined rushing touchdowns.
What Florida Needs to Do to Beat Missouri
Playing in the Swamp always gives Florida an edge. That is a good thing for Gators fans, because 4 - 2 Missouri is coming to town. The Tigers just suffered a 34 - 0 spanking at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs, and are tied with Florida for 3rd place in the SEC East division. Gator quarterback Jeff Driskel has struggled, completing just 54.9% of his passes this year. 6 TDs against 8 interceptions is not getting the job done the way Florida Gators fans had hoped. Driskel has rushed for 184 yards and 2 touchdowns, and along with running backs Kelvin Taylor (144 yds, 2 Tds) and Jones, Driskel will need to provide some plays on the ground for the Gators to knock the Tigers off this Saturday. Talented wide receiver Demarcus Robinson personally accounts for nearly 55% of all passing yards thrown by Driskel, so Missouri will probably double-team him all day. That is why the Florida running game is extremely important if the Gators are going to take the victory against Missouri.
The Florida Gators Headline Makers
Matt Jones is a junior running back who stands 6'2" tall and weighs a rugged 235 pounds. Averaging 5.7 yards a carry at home with 2 touchdowns, he is definitely one bright spot in the headlines for Florida sports bettors. And the previously mentioned WR Demarcus Robinson is the real deal. The 6'1" sophomore is averaging nearly 16 yards a catch on 30 receptions, and if he had a better quarterback would no doubt be in the running for the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best collegiate wide receiver. However, the Gator making all the headlines this year, and last, does not wear a football uniform. Head coach Will Muschamp was all Gators fans could talk about in 2012, compiling an 11 - 2 record in a tough Southeastern Conference. But he could only guide the Gators to a 4 - 8 record last year, and is currently in the headlines every week as a hot seat coach with a 3 - 2 record after 5 games. How Florida plays against a healthy Missouri squad could make or break Muschamp's future as the Gators coach. Florida is potentially looking at 3 losses over the last 5 games of the season, as they play ranked Georgia, Florida State and South Carolina teams.
