UF's Senior Day a lifelong memory for many Gators

The outcome was never in doubt against Western Carolina. But the sellout crowd at the Swamp still had a question — more like a demand — for Florida coach Urban Meyer.

The fourth-quarter chants from the student section for walk-on Tim Higgins did not fall on deaf ears back in November 2006.

Meyer and offensive coordinator Dan Mullen were not going to deny Higgins or UF fans a lifetime memory on Senior Day.

With time running out on the Gators’ 62-0 win, the 5-foot-7, 172-pound Higgins took a hand-off and made it back the line of scrimmage.
