The Florida Gators did not get off to the start they were hoping for in 2023. Florida fell on the road to the Utah Utes, 24-11.
The Gators could not stay within striking distance against a Utah team that was missing starting quarterback Cam Rising and star tight end Brant Kuithe.
Florida looked out of sorts in the defeat. The Gators had several false start penalties, a missed short field goal and an interception.
Florida had a rare penalty for having two players wearing No. 3 at the same time that allowed Utah to convert a fourth down. The Utes scored a touchdown several plays later.
Florida’s shortcomings on the road were music to the ears of Georgia Bulldogs fans. Utah’s official social media account wasted no time trolling the Gators after the Utes’ win.
