ORLANDO, Fla. -- The 17th-ranked University of Michigan football team utilized a balanced offense and stingy second-half defense to dominate No. 19 Florida in a 41-7 victory in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on Friday (Jan. 1) at Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. Jake Rudock threw for three touchdowns in his final game as a Wolverine, and fellow seniors De'Veon Smith (109 yards rushing) and Drake Johnson (58 rush yards, TD rush, TD catch) led a stellar ground attack (225 rush yards).
