The first half of football from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium has wrapped up as the Florida Gators head to the locker room with a 35-3 lead over the visiting Eastern Washington Eagles. While the home team did not exactly look particularly spectacular in all aspects of the game, there was enough left on the field to have the UF faithful feeling good in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
Despite some early stumbles on defense — which resulted in only three points but could have been much more — the Orange and Blue finally settled in and showed the talent difference between an FCS and Power Five school. Still, it was not quite the complete domination one would hope to see.
Take a look below at a breakdown of the first half of football between Florida and Eastern Washington, told in chronological fashion as the Gators Nation follows along with its beloved gridiron gang.
