You don't want to look like you are celebrating a win over a team with a losing record like you just won the national championship, but this is a big win considering it is on the road, against an East opponent, gives Florida some momentum heading into the bye, etc...

Florida came back from being down by 10 points in the fourth quarter on the road. I don't care who you are playing, that is impressive.

Maybe it took some ribbing from Steve Spurrier and his wife to bring it up (though I doubt it), but Napier learned that this team, the way it is built, can throw the ball and should. No, Graham Mertz didn't complete 80% of his passes, but for quarterbacks who aren't game managers, but playmakers, you want to hit around 65% He had a season-defining game.

All of a sudden, Missouri and maybe even LSU seem much more doable on the road.
