GAINESVILLE, Fla. — No one can deny the improvement the University of Florida football team has shown over the course of the 2024 season.
Not even coach Billy Napier’s most ardent critics.
The Gators (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) have made strides since lopsided losses to Miami and Texas A&M during the first month of the schedule. Napier shored up his shaky defense, found a potential star in freshman quarterback DJ Lagway and developed young talent on both sides of the ball.
It’s the kind of progress that has caught everyone’s attention, inside and outside the program.
And it should earn Napier at least another season in Gainesville.
