Mississippi State vs. Florida was one of the most intriguing matchups to watch of the weekend, but it was not because of the quality of the two opponents.<\/p>\n

It was the lack thereof as many stand shocked that Billy Napier still has a job after he’s been largely responsible for putting the Gators in a historically bad spot, despite signing a top-15 recruiting class. Mississippi State has been just as bad as Florida, and perhaps even worse as the Bulldogs trail the Gators, 28-14 at the half.<\/p>\n

Bulldogs fans have plenty of thoughts on why that is, and a lot of the blame is pointed at new head coach Jeff Lebby. There was optimism surrounding Lebby and his “score from far” offense. But it has quickly fizzled as the Bulldogs have dropped their last two games… to Arizona State and Toledo. That’s far from being up to the SEC standard and the level of play to be expected.<\/p>\n
