The Florida Gators already had a 10-win season going into the Citrus Bowl, racking up some impressive wins against teams such as Ole Miss, Tennessee and Georgia on their way to claiming the SEC East. On paper, it looked like a close defensive matchup with Michigan, but that’s not the way the game played out. The Wolverines put together scoring drives on seven of their first eight possessions, delivering a dominant 41-7 victory.
The Maize and Blue put up twice as many first downs, racking up 503 yards against the No. 6 total defense in the nation.
