Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox college sports team season Шаблон:1920 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football standings The 1920 Florida Gators football team represented the University of Florida during the 1920 college football season. The season was law professor William G. Kline's first of three as the head coach of the Florida Gators football team. Kline's 1920 Florida Gators compiled a marginally better 6–3 overall record than the 1919 Gators,[1] but a lesser 1–2 conference record against Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) competition.

While the Gators improved their series records against traditional in-state opponents like Шаблон:Cfb link and Шаблон:Cfb link, they also suffered a shutout defeat by Tulane and lost their fourth consecutive game to the Georgia Bulldogs.

Before the season

Kline was a former halfback for the Illinois Fighting Illini, and had previously coached the Nebraska Cornhuskers.[2]
