Former Florida Gators players who watched the game also felt this.

Here's how some former UF players reacted on social media during and after the game.

Former Florida safety Ahmad Black, a member of UF's last SEC and national title team in 2008, was upset with Napier's decision to hit Eugene Wilson III with a jet sweep on 4th-and-inches from the 18-yard in the second quarter line from UT.

Meanwhile, former Florida All-American offensive lineman Shannon Snell (1999-2003) was upset with the overall game management and the short-yardage play request and also handed the decision over to Wilson.

Steven Harris (2003-2007), a former Florida defensive lineman and member of the 2006 UF national team, offered a more positive assessment after the loss and urged current players to keep their heads up.
