The Miami Hurricanes took their celebration against the Florida Gators to another level.
On Saturday, the Hurricanes handily beat their in-state rivals 26-7.
After the game, Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal spoke about the team’s big win.
“This game means a lot to us. It means a lot to our alumni, the fan base and certainty we always thought they were a very talented team. They have a lot of really good players and they were always a play or two away from being really, really good. Our guys kept their composure when we started getting in a rut a little bit there with the offense. The defense played off the charts football, again.”
In the locker room, Hurricanes players were seen eating BBQ gator meat to celebrate their win against the Florida Gators.
