The Florida Gators (7-5, 4-4) defeated the Florida State Seminoles (2-9) 31-11 on the road to finish the regular season on a three-game winning streak as they now prepare for a bowl game.
Florida’s offense struggled for the majority of the game as the passing game just never got in rhythm, but the running game carried the Gators to victory.
The Gators’ defense caused eight fumbles and recovered five, which set the offense up with a short field.
