It wasn’t as impressive as their debut win over the New Mexico State Aggies, but the Florida Gators were able to hang on to a 31-24 advantage to outlast the East Carolina Pirates in the Swamp on Saturday.

The Gators clinched the victory when ECU quarterback Blake Kemp fumbled the ball in the red zone with just a few ticks of on the clock remaining.
