The Gators’ offense did just enough to pull out a victory in the Swamp on Saturday afternoon. Florida started the game off painfully slow; nothing appeared to be working for the Gators.
Anthony Richardson was missing easy throws early on, bouncing a screen pass to Marcus Burke and leading Xzaiver Henderson a little too far on another.
The Gators mustered just 66 yards of offense on 19 plays in the first half. Florida was lucky to head into the locker room tied at 10. If it wasn’t for a 48-yard punt return by Xzaiver Henderson and a pick six from Jaydon Hill, the Gators would have been scoreless at halftime.
