The Florida Gators found themselves in a position reminiscent of recent meetings against Georgia on Saturday, trailing by as many as 13 points in the first half after a lethargic and lackadaisical start.
But as they did more than once under former head coach Mike White, the Gators roared back to take control of the game, then held off a hard-charging team — only this time, they did that to White, not for him, earning an 82-75 victory over Georgia to avert an 0-3 mark in SEC play and keep their season from running entirely off the rails.
