This is standard procedure for the Gators. It happens every year. The offense doesn't quite click. The defense gives up a few big plays.
Special teams commits a turnover.
And Florida pulls away in the second half because it is bigger, stronger and faster. Add to the list Saturday's 55-26 victory over Western Michigan, in which a young Florida team showed it still has plenty of work to do before a Sept. 18 showdown with Southeastern Conference rival Tennessee. It wasn't great, but it was decent. Everything started out fine. With a 14-0 lead barely eight minutes into the game, it seemed Florida's rout was in full swing.
