After last week's Sunday special, the Florida Gators (3-2, 0-2 SEC) are slated to get back to their regularly scheduled programming this week as they're set to host the Missouri Tigers (2-3, 0-2 SECin an SEC East matchup.
Unlike last week's game, which was preceded by a quiet week at the University of Floridaafter Hurricane Ian forced the closure of campus, this week's game comes on the heels of a boisterous week in Gainesville as UF celebrated homecoming week.
Generally speaking, being scheduled as a homecoming opponent comes with a feeling of disrespect.
However, after the Tigers nearly stunned the then-top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs last week, there's no doubt that Missouri will have the respect of Billy Napier and the Gators come Saturday at noon.
