LOOK: Florida football equipment truck goes ablaze right outside Tuscaloosa
New Florida coach Dan Mullen secured an impressive 13-6 win on the road at his former team in Mississippi State, improving to 4-1 with its only loss coming against undefeated Kentucky.
However, on its way home to Gainesville after the game, the Gators equipment truck got a flat tire that somehow managed to spark a fire and put the vehicle ablaze:
FYI… our equipment truck got a flat tire last night on its way back to Gainesville, it sparked a small fire. Everyone involved is ok. We will be ready for our game this weekend against LSU ! #GoGators @GatorsFB

Of course it was right outside Tuscaloosa.
The Gators have their biggest test of the season next week when it hosts No. 5 LSU (5-0) in The Swamp.
