Gators O-line helps key big fourth-quarter effort

Florida offensive center T.J. McCoy had one thought in mind as he watched quarterback Feleipe Franks uncork a deep pass in the direction of receiver Tyrie Cleveland as the game clock ticked toward zero Saturday against Tennessee.

The Volunteers had just tied the game 20-20 and the Gators were facing a possible overtime with their SEC rivals.

“I saw Tyrie wide open and I was like, ‘Catch the ball. Catch the ball,’ ” McCoy recalled.

Offensive tackle Martez Ivey actually saw Brandon Powell open at first and thought that’s who Franks was looking for.
