Jachai Polite ripped past Florida State’s left tackle and reached out. FSU quarterback Deondre Francois pulled the football back for a throw, but the hand of the junior pass rusher prevented it from going any further. The ball squirted out, and defensive end CeCe Jefferson jumped on top of it.
Van Jefferson took a step in toward the FSU defender on his route, then took a step back out.
You don’t need to be an expert to know the Gators had a better football team than Idaho. The 63-10 final score was like the tickets at Krishna lunch: more a formality than a necessity.
The Florida Gators sent their seniors off with an overwhelming 63-10 victory over Idaho in the final home game of the season.
Idaho was ready for a screen pass. It might not have been ready for what happened next.
Senior Day is for celebrating the careers of the many players who dedicated four years — five in the case of six Gators — toward working hard and keeping strong the tradition of suiting up in the Orange and Blue. But the celebration also comes as a passing of the torch to the younger players.

Lamical Perine made a jump-cut with elite quickness. The junior running back juked against the grain of his blocking and burst through the line 23 yards from the South Carolina goal line. He zig-zagged past defenders and blockers and juked again. Burgundy helmets and white jerseys flew past his body. Then, nobody stood between Perine and the end zone. Touchdown.
It’ll take some adjustments.
The Florida football team changes mentalities more than David Bowie changed his style.
It must have been tough for Feleipe Franks.
Drew Lock saw Kam Scott the whole way.
Even the touchdowns were pitiful.
It seemed like a routine tackle at first.
A fired-up Dan Mullen had to be dragged from the field by the rim of his khaki pants.
Feleipe Franks couldn’t fumble from his own one-yard line, but he did. Georgia recovered, looking to put Florida to bed with two unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter.
UF running back Jordan Scarlett probably wishes he could re-do his first carry of the day.
Rayshad Jackson called it a distraction.
We sat down with the assistant sports editor of Georgia’s independent student newspaper, Michael Hebert, to ask him some questions about this weekend’s UF-UGA game. Here’s what he had to say.
