GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Florida coach Will Muschamp trudged across the field and into the locker room amid a scattering of boos Saturday night.

There were still a couple “Fire Muschamp” chants in the distance, too.

Those could become reality soon, maybe in the next few days.

Marcus Murphy scored three touchdowns, including two on special teams, and Missouri embarrassed Florida 42-13.

The Tigers (5-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) scored on a kickoff return, a punt return, a fumble return and an interception return. They managed just seven first downs and 119 yards, including 20 passing, but won by essentially letting the Gators self-destruct in nearly every way imaginable.
