The Florida Gators football team has completed one of the most emotional seasons in program history. Despite losing eight starters and facing unfathomable adversity, Florida kept pushing and secured a victory in the Outback Bowl.
During the Outback Bowl, embattled quarterback Austin Appleby fulfilled a lifelong dream and ended his career on a high note.
Appleby was one of the most scrutinized in the quarterback in the country during the 2016 season. Despite being thrown to the wolves after Luke Del Rio suffered a season-ending injury, nothing he did appeared to be enough for his critics.
According to Ryan Young of SEC Country, Appleby has finally fulfilled his dream of playing for Florida and winning a bowl game in the orange and blue.
