3-0 and nobody's celebrating, because a five-point win at Auburn shouldn't feel like a near-death experience.
The emotional rollercoaster
Florida fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Florida left Auburn with a 44-39 win and an unblemished 3-0 record, and somehow the fanbase came home heavier than it left. The turning point wasn't a touchdown but a decision: an onside kick one fan called "the most baffling onside kick decision I have ever seen," the kind of choice that turns a comfortable evening into a referendum. Another summed up three hours of fingernail damage as "the most sloppy, tense, and stressful game of my life." Undefeated has rarely felt so negotiable.
