A 42-20 loss to top-ranked, heavily favored Georgia left the Gators 4-4 and 1-4 in the SEC for the first time since 1979. Billy Napier’s team enters the final month of his first season seeking bowl eligibility while aiming to establish a foundation for the future. Two days after the Georgia loss, Napier made a statement about expectations when he dismissed top pass rusher Brenton Cox Jr. — a big blow for a struggling defense. But the November schedule softens, beginning with Saturday’s visit to Texas A&M. The biggest date ahead is Dec. 19 Signing Day. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar discuss pivotal two months for the Gators’ program.
