Houston has been so good in those late-game situations. So disciplined. So organized.
— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) April 8, 2025
But that final minute of offense was so bad. So, so, so bad.
Either of those teams would have been worthy champs. Florida got it done.
HOW BOUT THEM GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Todd Golden is at 39 years old…
— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) April 8, 2025
That makes him the youngest head coach to win National Championship since Jim Valvano in 1983.
I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in my 33 years, but one good one was going to the University of Florida. I love this school so gd much. 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
