Kickoff time announced for Florida Gators vs. UCF

When the Florida Gators return to action after their bye week, it will under the lights. On Monday, the SEC announced night game in The Swamp for the UF vs. UCF matchup.

The Gators and Knights are scheduled for a 7:45 p.m. kickoff on Oct. 5, airing on SEC Network. Florida leads the overall series also favors the Gators at 2-1.

Florida won its first SEC game of the season Saturday with a 45-28 victory at Mississippi State, improving to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play.

“Look, we have more work to do. OK, we won today, but we are very much a work in progress. And this group can get so much better,” Napier said. “We’re not even close to being who we can be — and they know that.

“That’s what I told them in the locker room. I think we saw flashes of it today, but we have to become a more consistent team, and I think that’s going to be the emphasis here in the open date.”

The Gators are off this week before hosting UCF (3-0). They resume SEC play on Oct. 12 against No. 5 Tennessee (4-0) in Knoxville.

“We’re gonna take a day and get them out of the building (Sunday). We have to develop practice plans that reflect the areas where we need to improve, and that’ll be the challenge on all three parts of our team. We’re going to get some guys back that are injured and unavailable now, which will be beneficial.

“But ultimately, it’s back to the basics here,” Napier said. “We’ve got to really take a good look at where our issues are at, at the self-scout, and then getting ready for a Power (Four) opponent coming to the Swamp, which will be a handful and be a challenge there.”
