Overview

• Florida fell 18-16 to USF at home on Nico Gramatica’s 20-yard walk-off field goal after entering as an 18.5-point favorite.
• Turnovers, a bad punt snap that resulted in a late safety, and more than 100 penalty yards — including two costly defensive flags — fueled the loss.
• Napier is 20-20 through four seasons and now faces four straight ranked opponents: at LSU, at Miami, vs. Texas, and at Texas A&M.
• Former tight end Jonathan Odom alleged on X that in 2023 he was accused of faking a concussion and that Napier later called it a “motivation tactic,” adding he considered legal action but did not pursue it.
• ESPN’s Mark Schlabach has reported Florida would owe a $20.4 million buyout if it fires Napier, with 50% due in the first 30 days, and Napier said the loss was his responsibility and that he intends to fix issues.
