The Gators lead 10-0 early in the second quarter as they have an early touchdown from Arlis Boardingham. Florida’s looking for its first 3-game winning streak in 3 years. This time, though, the Gators are playing without RG Micah Mazzccua, RT Damieon George and TE Dante Zanders for the first half. The SEC suspended all 3 for throwing punches at the end of the Tennessee game.
