GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- No. 10 Florida remains undefeated.
The Gators defeated No. 7 Auburn 24-13 on Saturday in a win where Florida's defense quieted Auburn's offense.
“I’ll tell you what was awesome: the fans," said Gators head coach Dan Mullen about the game crowd after the game. "The Swamp, I guess this is how is how the Swamp used to be. This is what the Swamp is, this is what we expect it to be, is that home-field advantage. The most electric environment in college football, the loudest stadium in college football. We need the Gator Nation to be able to give that effort just like the team give, all the time, like they did today. It’s hard for any team to get in here and come for a win if that’s how the crowd is going to be. They did an unbelievable job today. Look at causing some penalties, creating the energy for our sideline, the energy in the stadium,the excitement the whole time. That’s all due to the Gator Nation, our student body, the band, everybody did an amazing job. Great win.
