Florida 24, Miami 20: Gators outlast ‘Canes in unfathomably wild Week Zero opener

Feleipe Franks threw two terrible interceptions and put the ball on the ground on a fumbled snap in the red zone.

Florida’s tackling woes on the night were only barely eclipsed by a penchant for mind-numbing penalties.

Florida ran for 1.8 yards per carry and had two offensive snaps of the final 18.

But the second of those offensive snaps was the last one of the game. And when Franks took the final knee in Camping World Stadium on Saturday night, it was to preserve a 24-20 Florida win that will stand as one of the wildest in program history.
