After more than a month of clamoring to see more of Anthony Richardson, Gators fans finally got their wish on Saturday against Georgia. The redshirt freshman quarterback from Gainesville made his first career start.
Unfortunately, his day didn’t go as well as anybody in orange and blue had hoped for or expected. He completed 12 of 20 passes for just 82 yards and gained just 26 yards on 12 carries. He lost a fumble and threw two interceptions on three consecutive drives late in the first half, including a pick-six.
Those mistakes allowed Georgia to turn a 3-0 lead into a 24-0 blowout in a matter of minutes.
