The Florida Gators are gearing up to face Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa on December 20. This year’s game comes with a change in leadership, as interim coach Billy Napier prepares to take over from Dan Mullen. The Gators are looking to secure their first four-game winning streak under Napier’s guidance. Meanwhile, Tulane faces its own challenges with their starting quarterback entering the transfer portal.
As the Gators prepare for the bowl game, they are also focusing on preventing player attrition and adding key players to their roster. The team is aiming for their first bowl win since 2019 and is eager to end the season on a high note. The upcoming month is critical for Napier’s program as they navigate the transition to a new head coach and prepare for the possibility of a 12-team College Football Playoff.
In a recent episode of Swamp Things, hosts Mark and Edgar discussed the Gasparilla Bowl matchup, the implications of the playoff expansion, and the Gators’ schedule for the 2025-26 season. The duo also touched on the success of the Gators in recent years and offered insight from former athletic director Jeremy Foley.
