The Florida Gators (2-0, 0-0) defeated the UT-Martin Skyhawks (1-1, 0-0) on Saturday night to open the 2019 home football portion of the schedule.
Quarterback Feleipe Franks 15-16 in the first half with two touchdowns as the Gators offense relied on their passing game in the first half.
Florida’s defense was stingy against an overmatched opponent on Saturday as the speed of the Gators defense was just too much for UT-Martin to handle.
