Florida’s prayers answered on a last-second win over Tennessee
UF wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland makes the game winning touchdown catch in Florida's 26-20 win against Tennessee on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.Tyrie Cleveland raised his hand like a student who had the answer.
Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks saw his sophomore receiver’s arm waving in open space and called on him. One long throw and 63-yards later, Cleveland had collapsed in the end zone holding the football.
He left no time for Tennessee to rebut. The clock was off; the score was set: Gators win, 26-20.
Franks said he didn’t plan to throw a deep ball on the play.
