GAINESVILLE, Fla. ā Florida coach Dan Mullen dressed as Darth Vader was fitting considering his last three weeks.
Mullen showed up following a 41-17 victory over Missouri wearing a full āStar Warsā villain costume, complete with a red lightsaber.
It was closer to perfect given the coachās uneven October, which included eyebrow-raising comments about wanting to pack the Swamp ā Florida Field, not Dagobah ā during a pandemic and questioning an NCAA decision regarding practicing on Election Day.
Mullenās month concluded with a lopsided victory that was marred by a benches-clearing melee at halftime.
āNever know with Coach Mullen,ā safety Brad Stewart said.
