Florida football gets a much-needed break in Week 5 of the college football season.

After suffering a blowout to Miami to kick off the year, the Gators have earned their first SEC win with a defeat of Mississippi State on the road. That game once again saw the Gators utilize both QBs Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway. 

So, after a difficult start to the year, Florida is taking a week off before gearing up for an in-state battle. It hosts UCF for the teams' fourth-ever matchup and first since 2021. Can the Gators defend the swamp against a potential upset? They have time to prepare.

For those who can't wait to see Florida back in action, here's what comes next.
