Swampcast talks Florida football returning to The Swamp for homecoming matchup with MSU
The Sun’s Kevin Brockway and Andrew Abadie break down Florida football’s game Saturday with MSU at The Swamp with Sam Sklar of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
Florida football will look to continue its success in homecoming games when it hosts Mississippi State at The Swamp.
The Florida Gators (2-4, 1-2 SEC) have gone 30-5 in their last 35 homecoming games and have won all three of its homecoming contests under head coach Billy Napier. That inclues last season, when UF routed Kentucky 48-20 on Oct. 19, 2024 before a sellout crowd in a homecoming night gam.
“This is a big-picture game in that regard,” Napier said. “So you put that orange and blue on −I still think that exists. I know college football has changed quite a bit, but I do think that we got a lot of guys that came here, it means something for them to pursue the degree here, to be a graduate one day, to come back here and call this place home.”
Florida is 35-19-2 all-time against Mississippi State (4-2, 0-2 SEC), which has lost 14 straight games against SEC opponents. The Gators have won 16 of their last 17 games against the Bulldogs at home. In the last meeting between the schools, Florida beat Mississippi State 45-28 on Sept. 21, 2024 in Starkville, Miss.
