Miami Hurricanes edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. dove into savage mode Saturday -- penetrating the offensive line of Florida for seven total tackles and another sack.

He then savagely grilled the Gators after the 26-7 victory, literally.

Known as "Hurricane Bain" on Instagram, the defensive leader trolled Florida with a "Swamping" post in his IG stories. He posted a picture of a grilled gator surrounded by Miami players. The 'Canes later feasted on the postgame meal.

Bain raised his game another level against the in-state rival from Gainesville. Except Bain became honest about how he played.

Rueben Bain Jr. Shares Blunt Assessment of Miami Performance

Bain added to his sack totals by taking down D.J. Lagway. But he clearly holds himself to a high standard, as he explained to 104.3 WQAM Radio.

"I missed three sacks on that last drive. I ain't too happy," Bain said as he ate gator.

Still, Bain sparked a fierce defense that continues to improve from last season's dismal production. The 'Canes bottled Florida to only 141 total yards.

Lagway especially struggled facing Bain and the 'Canes -- throwing for only 61 yards and taking four sacks. Miami also tacked on seven tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

Analyst Raves About Bain's Dominance

Miami is off and running at 4-0 behind multiple factors -- from Carson Beck igniting the offense with his plethora of wide receivers, to Mark Fletcher's running all the way to defense.

One analyst, though, raved about Bain's early season dominance Saturday.

Luke Easterling of Athlon Sports is one taking an instant liking to the 6-foot-3, 275-pound talent.

"Through the first four weeks of the college football season, he looks like the most dominant player in the entire country," Easterling wrote.

Bain wins off his speed and power combination, Easterling states. He's also not one to be described as a "developmental" prospect, as Bain looks ready to impact an NFL team now.

"If you watch the tape we’ve seen so far this season, you can make a strong case that no player in the game right now is having a bigger impact on his team than Bain, and he’s a massive reason why they’re a top-five team that keeps rolling through every opponent on their schedule," Easterling adds.

Bain showed he was hungry for gator. Then feasted on some at Hard Rock Stadium during and after the contest.
