I know there were at least a few Gator fans who weren’t super happy to see Anthony Richardson take the field after halftime against Eastern Washington. On top of his past injury history, he’d come off the field once already against the Eagles. UF was up 35-3 at intermission. Why risk it?
Well, a different way to think about it would be more like a pitch count than a time count. Not including the kneel down to kill the clock, Florida ran all of 20 plays in the first half. And with Richardson coming out for five plays, he only got 15 snaps to run the offense against EWU.
