Things got a little chippy in the Swamp on Saturday ahead of the Sunshine Showdown.
Nearly 30 minutes before kickoff, players from both Florida and Florida State met face to face near the Seminoles sideline. It has not been reported who started the confrontation between the rivals.
The tense moment between the two programs was brief, as officials separated players to their designated end zones at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before things escalated.
Florida (5-6, 2-6 in SEC) will look to earn its sixth win of the season for bowl eligibility under interim football coach Greg Knox, who stepped in for the Gators after the program parted ways with Dan Mullen on Nov.
