Dallas Wilson arrived at Florida with big expectations, but an injury in August delayed his debut. He was finally able to make his debut against Texas on Sunday, and he reminded all of Florida nation why the hype and excitement for him was so high in the offseason.
The Gators pulled off the 29-21 upset against the Longhorns, and he had the best debut game ever for a Gators receiver in school history.
Wilson finished the game with 6 catches for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns. His second score on the day was an incredible 55-yard catch where he showed tremendous balance on the sideline to avoid going out of bounds.
The Gators entered this game on a three-game losing streak in large part because of major offensive struggles.
Florida desperately needed a win, and Wilson’s arrival helped the team get the job done against the Longhorns. Another tough game is looming next week, as the Gators travel to College Station to take on Texas A&M in the final game of a brutal four-game stretch.
