Elijah Holyfield didn’t have an open hole to run through. A Florida defender closed in ready to tackle the sophomore running back at the line of scrimmage.

But Holyfield, who was fresh off the bench, put a juke move on defensive back Brandon Stewart, leaving him on the turf following his missed tackle. Holyfield then took off running through the now-open lane and down the left sideline.

With another Florida defender closing in on an angle, Holyfield planted his right foot at the 4-yard line and dove into the end zone for a 39-yard touchdown.

Holyfield’s touchdown was his second of the year in the Bulldogs’ 42-7 win over the Gators.
