Buster Faulkner says Florida must stop making bad plays worse

Florida ’s offense has developed a costly habit: One mistake quickly becomes two. Offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner said the Gators must stop making bad plays worse after penalties, turnovers and missed assignments repeatedly knocked the unit out of rhythm against Georgia. He insisted the breakdowns have not belonged to one position or player. Faulkner also discussed the competition between Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones Jr., Florida’s sputtering running game, Eric Singleton Jr.’s health and an Oklahoma defense that presents another significant challenge. Here’s everything Faulkner had to say. What has Florida focused on since the Georgia game? The focus has been the same thing it has been for the past few weeks: doing simple better and stopping hurting ourselves. We need to understand what that does to the team and what it does to a drive. All the things that go into not playing good football, we’re continuing to coach those things and putting a major emphasis on them again, which we’ve been doing for a while. We’ve got to keep at it, keep fighting, keep clawing and try to get better every day. That’s the big emphasis this week. Everybody has to get better every day. Each position and

Florida left voteless in US LBM Coaches Poll after Oklahoma loss

The losses continue to pile up for Florida football, which dropped its second straight game in Week 10 — a 23-7 defeat at the hands of the visiting Oklahoma Sooners. Now 5-4 overall and 3-4 in SEC play, the Gators are simply playing for a chance to earn a bowl berth at this point. Following the humiliating defeat in the Swamp, Sumrall's squad is now voteless in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after holding the de facto No. 27 ranking with 81 points last week . The last time the Gators were left off the coaches' ballot was in the final edition of the 2025 poll. The SEC's representation among the top 25 remains at eight schools after the demotion of Missouri and the ascension of South Carolina into the mix. Georgia returns to the No. 1 spot in the nation and still headlines the conference, followed by Alabama (No. 7), Texas (No. 8), Tennessee (No. 9), Kentucky (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 17), LSU (No. 22), and South Carolina (No. 24). Missouri is now the de facto No. 27 team in the rankings with 147 points, while Oklahoma clawed back a pair of votes after its road win.
