Trailing by 18 points and facing their first loss at Vanderbilt since 1988, the No. 14 Florida Gators needed something special.
Coach Dan Mullen’s team would respond by repeating history during Saturday’s 37-27 win.
Burned by explosive plays to fall into a 21-3 hole, the Gators made some big plays of their own while reeling off 24 consecutive points. Tailback Jordan Scarlett capped the offensive explosion with a 48-yard touchdown run to match the largest comeback on the road in program history.
The 2003 Gators trailed by 18 points at Kentucky and won 24-21 behind first-year freshman quarterback Chris Leak.
