JACKSONVILLE — Steve Spurrier kicked back in a luxury suite at Jacksonville’s TIAA Bank Field, watching the Florida-Georgia game he used to dominate.
Mullen picked up his first victory in the heated rivalry as Gators head coach in Spurrier-esque fashion, led by a quarterback wearing the No. 11 Spurrier made famous during his playing days.
No. 8 Florida’s resounding 44-28 victory over the No. 5 Bulldogs Saturday snapped the Gators' three-game skid against Georgia and gave UF a commanding lead in the SEC East title race.
The game also put quarterback Kyle Trask in the race for the Heisman, college football’s top individual prize won by Spurrier back in 1966.
