The Anthony Richardson era was put on hold by injury in September, but born of necessity during Florida’s wild 49-42 loss at LSU on Saturday.
Richardson’s heroics off the bench could not overcome two 15-point deficits, a porous run defense or 4 interceptions, including one by Richardson with 1:59 left to seal Florida’s fate in front of 96,012 at Tiger Stadium.
Richardson did seem to put to rest questions at quarterback for coach Dan Mullen’s squad, though the 19-year-old from Gainesville, Florida, was not ready to seize the reins or pat himself on the back.
