Florida 52, Eastern Washington 17: Gators take it easy in breezy win over Eagles

Related Topics: Florida, Eagles, Billy Napier

All you really need to know is that Florida was up 45-3 on Eastern Washington at one point.

It was that kind of nearly flawless day for the Gators.

Apart from a pair of late touchdowns that narrowed the final margin to 52-17 in Florida’s favor and a handful of seemingly minor injuries, this was the sort of easy, dominant win that had eluded Billy Napier’s program thus far in 2022.

Anthony Richardson — who picked up one of those nicks, appearing to sustain some kind of injury to his right ankle early in the second quarter, but returned to the game with his ankle wrapped — made his own brand of dominance look great, flicking a perfect 75-yard touchdown pass to Justin Shorter on the Gators’ first offensive snap and turning a rollout into an east-to-west scramble for 45 yards on the next one.
