Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the more than 81,000 people in attendance last night at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. On a night where the field was dedicated as “Steve Spurrier – Florida Field” the Florida Gators extended its home opener winning streak to 27 games with a 24-7 victory over the UMass Minutemen.
Luke Del Rio earned his first start and threw for more than 260 yards in the win, with touchdown passes to Antonio Callaway and Brandon Powell. Jordan Scarlett led the way for the Gators on the ground with 13 carries for 70 yards.
