THE LATEST on Billy Napier, Scott Stricklin and meetings | Florida vs Mississippi State Preview Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

Is Billy Napier's time at Florida coming to an end? We discuss Scott Stricklin's recent booster meeting and what it means for the head coach's future. Then, we break down Florida's upcoming matchup against Mississippi State.

Mississippi State comes in 4-2 but still searching for their first SEC win. Their offense can explode at any moment with big-play threats, but can they protect their quarterback with a banged-up offensive line and no Fluff Bothwell in the backfield?

On defense, the Bulldogs are ball hawks who haven't given up a first-quarter offensive touchdown all year. But they're vulnerable against the run and struggle to generate pressure. Will Florida finally put it all together and capitalize on Saturday?
