The Florida Gators get set to host the Florida State Seminoles inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Nov. 25 for the final game of the 2023 regular-season schedule.
Both teams are fighting for their post-season destinies, with the Orange and Blue looking for that elusive sixth win to earn a spot in a December bowl game while the Garnet and Gold — which still has an ACC Championship game ahead of it as well — is fighting for the final College Football Playoff spot.
Ahead of the game, the Gator Nation gathered in front of the Swamp despite the cool, wet weather to cheer on their beloved Florida football team in hopes of getting one more game in this year and avoiding its third-straight losing season.
Take a look below at the scene before the big game as well as the players’ Gator Walk into the stadium.
