PEACH BOWL CHAMPS: Florida dominates Michigan in Atlanta

UM quarterback Shea Patterson broke a 21-yard read option on the game’s first offensive play. Running back Christian Turner followed it and sprinted for a 46-yard touchdown, but he was marked out of bounds at the UF 38 after official review, 1 yard short of the first-down marker. Florida stuffed the Wolverine run on the next two plays, and it’s rush defense was stellar from that point forward.
