In an exciting matchup lined up for week 2 of the 2023 college football season, the Florida Gators go against the McNeese State Cowboys on Saturday. Both teams have begun their 2023 campaign with losses. So it will be an opportunity for both Florida and McNeese State to record their first win of the season.
Last year, the Florida Gators ended their season with a 6-7 record. It was also the debut of coach Billy Napier, who replaced Dan Mullen. However, Napier has not had a great start to his second year at the helm, succumbing to the Utah Utes in his first game of 2023 in a disappointing 24-11 defeat.
Meanwhile, the McNeese State Cowboys had a losing season in 2022, recording only four wins and seven losses. It was also the debut of Gary Goff, who also suffered a 34-52 defeat in their 2023 season opener against the Tarleton State Texans.
