The first half of the Orange Bowl belonged to Florida running back Lamical Perine.

The senior running back scored three touchdowns for the Gators over the first two quarters of Monday’s game against Virginia. That included a 61-yard score on Florida’s third play of the game that gave it a quick lead.

The Gators went on to extend their lead to 24-14 by the break.
