LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Florida Gators fumbled, were intercepted, had a player ejected for targeting collected seven penalties and watched their starting quarterback and leader, Feleipe Franks, leave the game with a gruesome leg injury. Still, as they have the previous seven times they’ve taken a football field they found a way to win.
Florida has nine games left on the schedule and it’s unlikely that any of them will feature Feleipe Franks.
With the Gators trailing 21-10 in the third quarter Dan Mullen dialed up a play to go for it on fourth down. Franks ran play-action but Stone Forsythe was beaten off the edge by Calvin Taylor, which forced Franks to step up into the pocket.
