Florida opened at 1-0 after a 66-21 dismantling of Florida Atlantic, and the fanbase exhaled like a tire. The turning point wasn't a play so much as the moment the margin grew wide enough that nobody had to check the clock. One fan, still carrying old wounds, noted being "so glad we didn't need a phantom second to 'defeat' Florida Atlantic." Another declared the program "so back," adding, "We needed this so badly." Joy in Gainesville, measured in points nobody can take away later.
