Florida kicked off the Billy Napier era in dramatic fashion Saturday night, earning a huge upset win over No. 7 Utah at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
After quarterback Anthony Richardson scored with 1:24 remaining in regulation, the Gators defense took the field looking to maintain a narrow 29–26 lead while trying to contain a formidable Utes offense led by junior QB Cameron Rising. Utah marched on a 69-yard drive down to the Florida 6-yard line to set up a potential game-tying field goal with 22 seconds to go.
