The win at South Carolina was a significant step for the program, BUT only if the team follows up with an impressive showing against Florida at home.
A loss to Florida would not necessarily be a matter of 1 step forward & 2 steps back, but a loss in which the team comes out flat and does not compete would be devastating. .
The football program has placed significant emphasis on this game from a recruiting perspective, a win and the program could become a runaway train. A bad loss and it becomes the little train that couldn't
FWIW, I think Stoops targeted this game because it is a game he expects to win..
No different than a high school that plays it's homecoming game against a team it expects to thump.
