All Mississippi St had to do was run the ball already being in FG range. But they THREW the game away literally 😂🐊🐊🐊🐊

Florida's interception of Blake Shapen preserves a 23-21 win in the Swamp. Now the focus turns to coach Billy Napier ahead of an open week.
— Adam Rittenberg (@ESPNRittenberg) October 18, 2025
Napier on if he felt tonight was his last game with the Gators,” Man, tonight I am going to enjoy this one. Get something good to eat, hug on my kids and wake up tomorrow and see what’s next.”
— Alyssa Britton-Harr (@abrittonharr) October 19, 2025
That was a brutal play on third down, #Gators forced to punt, and loudest "Fire Billy" chants I have heard break out at Swamp … Bulldogs take over at their 28 with 1:39 left
— Scott Carter (@GatorsScott) October 18, 2025
Best possible outcome. Napier decisions made this game loseable. But they won
— Derek (@_DTyson) October 18, 2025
Legitimately , not sure if I’ve ever seen Gator fans, more unhappy about a win in my entire life… Watching the game with a bunch of people in Mandarin, people are pretty upset… What a time to be alive
— Hacker (@RyanGreen1010XL) October 19, 2025
Billy better buy #93 a Desmond Watson sized meal tonight.
— Joe Cowart (@1010xljoec) October 18, 2025
Game saver. Job saver. For now #Gators
More Billy Napier on future: 'I’m going to enjoy this one tonight. We’ll wake up tomorrow and worry about what’s next.'
— Edgar Thompson (@osgators) October 19, 2025
Holy crap – how did Billy just save his job?!? #Gators
— Joe Cowart (@1010xljoec) October 18, 2025
Florida is going to escape the Mississippi State game with a win even though it almost lost because Billy Napier couldn’t figure out how to get the right amount of players on the field.
— Ari Wasserman (@AriWasserman) October 18, 2025
Not sure what to think.
— Frank Frangie (@Frank_Frangie) October 19, 2025
Credit UF young defensive guys. Lost so many guys, really battled. They deserved to win.
Honestly thought 3rd & 1 call would be Billy’s last play call at UF. Guessing now will coach at least one more game.
Good win. Weird season.
This game is a total Billy Napier game. Will squeak out a win against a team Florida should have won by 21 against.
— Derek (@_DTyson) October 18, 2025
If Florida was on the road in this game, Gators lose by 14.
it should happen tonight….it must happen tonight…
— Dan Hicken (@DanHicken) October 18, 2025
Definitely did not see THAT coming, nose tackle Michai Boireau's interception seals a #Gators 23-21 homecoming win as Swamp goes wild in what is likely – surely? – Billy Napier's final game in the Swamp.
— Edgar Thompson (@osgators) October 18, 2025
Fat guy INT by Florida DT Michai Boirea saves the Gators against Mississippi State.
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) October 18, 2025
Will it save Billy Napier for another two weeks? Stay tuned.
Wow. Mississippi State gets picked off with 21 seconds left. the Gators are going to win after all
— Matt Baker (@MattBakerCFB) October 18, 2025
Always happy for the kids and the W
— Dan Hicken (@DanHicken) October 18, 2025
Wow. Billy Napier truly does have 9 lives.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 18, 2025
To me, it makes no difference if you fire him tomorrow, or if you fire him at the end of the year, or if you fire him in two weeks, three weeks, or four weeks… Everybody knows he won’t be back in 2026 and that’s really all that matters
— Hacker (@RyanGreen1010XL) October 18, 2025
Still pretty sure they’re not gonna fire Napier after a win… The only caveat I put on that was if it was an ugly win… They accomplished that caveat… We will see tomorrow
— Hacker (@RyanGreen1010XL) October 18, 2025
Florida with the miracle win!! Is it enough?
— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) October 18, 2025
That's a huge, huge win in Athens for the Gators IYKYK 😉

Another FI-RE BIL-LY chant at The Swamp
— Matt Baker (@MattBakerCFB) October 18, 2025
One of the most damaging referendums on Napier at Florida: DJ Lagway's regression.
— Matt Hayes (@MattHayesCFB) October 18, 2025
QB keeper on third-and-seven rightfully drawing boos here at the Swamp.
— Edgar Thompson (@osgators) October 18, 2025
Florida ran a third-and-7 keeper with Lagway. Huh? Shocker, he didn't make it.
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) October 18, 2025
Its like Napier was settling for the FG … and before kicking it, Gators get delay of game.
I *think* that's a FI-RE BIL-LY chant that just broke out at The Swamp…
