Florida football’s star quarterback [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag] dazzled the nation last weekend as he put up a [autotag]Tim Tebow[/autotag]-esque performance in the Swamp to open the 2022 season. Traditionally, the Gators have faced a cupcake team to start the schedule, but this year they opened up against a Utah Utes who were ranked in the top 10 as well as the reigning Pac-12 champs coming into Gainesville.
