'Lil Ah Dub': Utah Has Perfect Response For Florida's Princely Umanmielen's Mockery
The anticipation for Utah's Week 1 matchup with Florida was building all offseason long, and even without their two stars they handled business.
Behind a stellar showing by backup quarterback Bryson Barnes, the Utes were not only able to win but blowout their SEC foe. Utah walked away with a 24-11 victory that saw them assert their physical dominance, while leaving Florida fans already looking ahead to next season.
To make matters worse for the Florida Gators, their pre-game actions came back to haunt them following the shellacking. A little well-known phenomenon that is widely known as karma, which in this era of social media will never let you forget.

Prior to the game, Florida defensive end Princely Umanmielen took a picture of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium during warmups and captioned it, "Lil ah stadium." Referring to the fact that Utah's stadium which holds over 50,000, is smaller than "The Swamp" which holds around 90,000. While Rice-Eccles isn't as big as SEC stadiums that place gets loud.
Something Umanmielen learned while he and the Gators were embarrassed on national television. He also caught some shade after the game from the Utah social media team who kept the receipts of his mocking social media post.
