Florida’s defense dominates Savannah State

Florida may not have gone into Tuesday night’s matchup with Savannah State thinking about vengeance, but that’s exactly what it got.

Last year, the Gators went to Savannah, Georgia, for a matchup with the Tigers in early December. They were handed a demoralizing 10-point loss.

This year, they didn’t find themselves demoralized.

But Savannah State may have been.

The Gators (3-1) thrashed the Tigers (1-2) 99-34, recording the largest margin of victory in Amanda Butler’s tenure as head coach. Florida came only four points shy of tying the program record, a 69-point victory over Lynn University in 1995.
