Lamical Perine had a 5-yard scoring catch and a 53-yard touchdown run, leading a rushing attack that helped No. 10 Florida cap its comeback season with a 41-15 rout of No. 8 Michigan on Saturday in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.

After finishing 4-7 in 2017, Florida made a stunning turnaround in Dan Mullen’s debut season as coach.

“To know where we were last season to where we are now is something special,” Mullen said.
