Anthony Richardson's impressive play has fans reacting during Florida-Tennessee game
The Anthony Richardson that played well against Utah has returned and is playing well against Tennessee Saturday in Knoxville.
Tennessee leads Florida at halftime 17-14, thanks to a long touchdown drive that ended with a Hendon Hooker scoring pass with 7 seconds left.
Richardson, however, is keeping Florida in it, and he is 11-of-20 for 220 yards and 1 passing touchdown against Tennessee’s defense. Richardson hit tight end Keon Zipperer for 44 yards and a touchdown.

Tennessee was favored by 10.5 points, but if the first half was any indication, Tennessee will be in for a dogfight in the second half.
Fans are sounding off about Richardson’s improved play in the first half.
Anthony Richardson came to play today

What #Vols fans feared is proving to be true. The defense, specifically the secondary is still very soft.
Anthony Richardson on pace to throw for 400+ yards and account for 4 TD’s.
As expected, the offense will have to win this game.

I feel so bad for Tennessee, Anthony Richardson looked horrendous against Kentucky and South Florida but against Tennessee he looks like Michael Vick reincarnated ?

Not what the Vols wanted to see. UF QB Anthony Richardson having himself a day so far! One passing and one rushing TD coming from 7 yards out. He’s accounted for 248 yards of offense for the Gators who lead 14-10 @wvltrick pic.twitter.com/LP6f27rLVU

Anthony Richardson is DEALING today. Had a big chunk play on a laser to the outside, snuck in bullet to his TE on 3rd & 12 for a first down, then outran every Vol a couple plays later. https://t.co/pIZ4XcWBO9
