The Florida Gators finally earned a road win in 2023 after taking down the South Carolina Gamecocks in an offensive shootout.
Touchdowns and field goals were traded by both teams but the Florida Gators passing game looks like it’s in shape going into the bye week. Senior receiver Ricky Pearsall collected 166 yards on 10 catches but freshman stand-out tight end Arlis Boardingham has been coming to form the last couple weeks.
Boardingham was vital in clutch time and assisted in converting a long 4th down try and scored six points to lessen the deficit on the scoreboard.
Florida quarterback Graham Mertz rolled to his right on a 2nd and goal at the four-yard line, finding Boardingham in open space two yards away. The freshman tight end juggled the catch but came down with it before crossing the goal line.
