Those points came with 6:25 left in the third quarter, extending a two-possession lead to three in a game that felt over much earlier.

6 LSU is preparing to weigh in for its first top 10 pairing of the season against No. 8 Florida at 6 p.m. Saturday in Tiger Stadium on ESPN, the Tigers showed a balanced diet of offense in their dominant, 45-24 victory over South Carolina Saturday at Tiger Stadium.
Quarterback Will Grier threw four touchdown passes as Florida routed then-No. “You never want to pick your quarterback up period”.
The second ended on a missed 36-yard field goal by Jorge Powell.
The defense had their issues to start, but eventually found their stride. Even with the veteran quarterback under center, Missouri has yet to really put together an impressive win. “You give yourself a lot of long-yard situations, and it’s not very good“. Missouri is one victory away from joining Alabama and Auburn as the only SEC teams that now hold a winning streak of three or more games against Florida.
LW: Sixth-year senior tight end Jake McGee, a Virginia transfer who missed the bulk of last season with a broken leg, is a player Mizzou fans will be introduced to Saturday. Pinkel declined to elaborate on his status.
For the most part, these Gators on defense seem to be enjoying themselves and playing with a little more freedom than in the past.
“We knew that most of the time they might start out in one thing and change to another”, Lock said. Lock had none of it.
A few weeks ago, I said college football needs more in-fighting like the feud between Bret Bielema and Kliff Kingsbury. “It’s not that bad. We have to find something within ourselves to come out here and do something bigger”. But, no, it’s fine.
He completed 16 of 39 passes (41 percent) for 151 yards.
After the two teams traded punts, the Gators went down and scored again as Kelvin Taylor, son of former Gator and famous Jacksonville Jaguar running back Fred Taylor, ran in from a yard out for his second touchdown of the game.
Offense, however, has been Missouri’s glaring weak spot and the reason it fell out of the top 25. Florida’s defensive backs were better than Missouri’s receivers.
A solid balance of run and pass proved to be just enough for the Gators to beat the Tigers on Saturday night.
On Missouri’s first drive of the game, Lock looked poised.
After an open date, all eyes will be turned to Jacksonville, where Florida and Georgia meet for the game formerly known as “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”, where the SEC East could hang in the balance.
“We needed that going forward”, receiver Travin Dural said. “It didn’t really affect us much”, Miles said. The Gators amassed 337 yards and possessed the ball for 37:53, converting 23 first downs as quarterback Will Grier completed 20 of 33 passes for 208 yards in his fifth start.
But it’s a pretty fun secondary game to see a good play and so frequently say “That guy’s a freshman/sophomore!” “It is fun to watch”. People rubbing their bellies and making them feel good.
When UF was at its peak, it captured 10 SEC East titles in an 18-year span. But the Gators have been shut out since then – with SEC newbie Missouri taking advantage of the division’s new hierarchy.

Both teams kept their punters busy in the third quarter as 9:14 elapsed before Mizzou picked up the quarter’s first first down. The defense harassed Drew Lock into two interceptions, including a pick-six by Jalen Tabor.
