No. 17 Michigan routs No. 19 Florida 41-7 in Citrus Bowl

Ultimately, Michigan did a better job of executing throughout the game, and Florida is not built to overcome sizable deficits.

Stopping for his halftime TV interview with Florida trailing MI by 10 points in the Citrus Bowl, Gators coach Jim McElwain appeared unworried, saying his team did some good things and that they would “sling it around a little bit in the second half”. “I think as you look, as their [Michigan’s] quarterback developed, their team around him has gotten a lot better and that’s something you always consistently have got to look to do”. “And our defense was magnificent”.

READY TO GO? The bowl availability of MI quarterback Jake Rudock was in question after he was forced to leave the Wolverines’ loss to Ohio State on November 28.

In a game billed as a battle of two of the top defenses in the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference, the 17th-ranked Wolverines’ offense shined bright in their first bowl victory since 2012. He finished 278 yards and three touchdown passes on the day.

Rudock credited the coaching staff’s game plan and scouting efforts with putting him and his teammates in optimum situations. They out-physicalled us, guys, no doubt about it. I mean, I hate to state the obvious all the time, but they did. They get opportunities to play against each other at the next level, and I just think it’s great. De’Veon Smith rushed for 644 yards and six touchdowns. Making the blowout even more impressive was the fact that Jabrill Peppers sat out after suffering a hand injury.

The loss puts Florida at 10-4 on the year, something that many Florida fans will undoubtedly label as a success after the tumultuous tenure of former coach Will Muschamp. “They really took it to us on both sides of the ball”. But he also had a costly interception in the end zone late in the first half that stifled the Gators’ attempt to stay in the game.

No. 19 UF (10-4) ended a turnaround season with a three-game losing streak that culminated in the Gators’ worst defeat since a 62-24 throttling by Nebraska in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. And then stepping toward next season and going to spring ball. He became only the second quarterback in MI history to record the 3,000 passing yards in a single season. Chesson used a double move, initially faking an inside slant, to strand and separate from star cornerback Vernon Hargreaves. But, really, their options are likely limited due to the struggling, inexperienced offensive line and the limited skill set of Harris in a pro-style offense.

What the loss means for Florida: The excitement over Jim McElwain’s first campaign in Gainesville has definitely cooled off. The Gators lost by at least two touchdowns in each of their final three games and were just never the same after the Will Grier suspension. The direct snap went to running back Kelvin Taylor, who ran to his left and flipped the ball to wide receiver Antonio Callaway coming on a reverse.

But on the series following Chesson’s touchdown, Harris made a poor decision while getting chased toward the sideline, tossing a third-down pass from just outside the red zone into a crowded end zone.
