The season was Steve Spurrier's third as the Florida Gators football team's head coach, and the wins were harder to come by as the star-studded senior classes from 1990 and 1991 had graduated.
The Gators' non-conference schedule included a homecoming victory over the Louisville Cardinals (31–17), and another surprisingly difficult win over Southern Miss Golden Eagles (24–20).
They closed their regular season with a road loss to the third-ranked Florida State Seminoles (24–45) in Tallahassee.
Spurrier's scrappy young Gators, however, fell short against the SEC Western Division champion, the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (21–28).
The Crimson Tide later defeated the Miami Hurricanes in the Sugar Bowl to win the 1992 national championship.
