Florida Gators Countdown to Kickoff 2021: At No. 14, the seductive two-touchdown lead

You remember how the Florida-Georgia game started last year, right?

Georgia’s Zamir White ran for 75 yards on the first play from scrimmage, and it was suddenly 7-0. Florida went three-and-out on the next possession, gave up a six-play, 61-yard touchdown drive over the next 2:14, and trailed 14-0 before four minutes were gone.

But that lead wasn’t safe — not even close. Florida would score the next 14 points, and 38 of the 45 that were to come before halftime. And when the game ended, the Gators had essentially flipped that two-touchdown deficit into their own two-touchdown final margin of victory at 44-28, albeit one with two two-point conversions tacked on.
