Florida Gators struggle in a 22-7 win over Charlotte

The Florida Gators (3-1, 1-0) defeated the Charlotte 49ers (1-3) 19-7 on Saturday night in the Swamp.

Florida’s offense struggled to put the ball in the endzone as they had to settle for four field goals and didn’t move the ball much in the second half.
