The Florida Gators got embarrassed the last two weeks, and need to rebound on their trip to Austin to face the Texas Longhorns.

The Florida Gators are 4-2 and on the verge of collapse going into their next matchup with the Texas Longhorns on Saturday afternoon.
It’s a fascinating matchup for multiple reasons. I believe that the Gators are in a must-win spot. They have lost the last two games by a combined score of 83-36. It’s a tough one for multiple reasons, but the biggest being Jon Sumrall‘s first season could be taking a turn for the worst.
The Gators could also be without their starting quarterback, Aaron Philo. He is dealing with a shoulder injury and was listed as questionable on the first injury report. Not having him would be tough for the Gators, but it could also be a blessing in disguise.
For the Longhorns, they just lost the Red River Rivalry to the hated Oklahoma Sooners, but they are playing better football than the Gators right now, and it isn’t even close. Will that be the case on Saturday? Last year, the Gators beat Texas in The Swamp. Here’s how you can watch the game.
