The most consistent offense in college football history- Dave Fields February 5, 2018īut this one can’t rank all that highly, since UF already had the record in the bag. That meant lots of ironic celebration with a catchphrase from our podcast: The best part about this one: the Gators had just set the scoring record thingy TWO WEEKS PRIOR, which was pretty much the first time anyone outside of Gainesville had ever heard of this record. The Dawgs came 2:42 away from ending the streak. If not for a 62-yard kickoff return by Debose against an otherwise decent FSU coverage unit, the streak likely would’ve died here. This was also the second time WR Andre Debose just about saved the streak all by himself, though this one also had a later field goal. 71 passer-rating offense, this was the “worst” day all year by Bama’s pass defense. The Gators’ TD came via a 65-yard lob, by far the longest throw allowed by the Tide all year. Alabama, 38-10 lossĪbsolute, un-replicable chicanery. Meyer’s first Gators team would’ve scored more than just three in Tuscaloosa if they hadn’t been way behind on the scoreboard - they had a couple of fourth quarter turnovers on downs in Bama territory - but still, nearly scoring six or nine points isn’t good. Michigan, 41-7 lossīy far UF’s longest drive of the Citrus Bowl was aided by two straight Michigan penalties that converted a third-and-8 across midfield. The Gators didn’t score in this canceled, one-play game, but they did move the ball well. The dam broke with a long field goal for the baffling W. Then a UT fumble set up a 30-yard TD drive. Will Muschamp’s boys were scoreless until 13:40 remained, having barely crossed the 50 all day. One of the most disgusting games in the history of a disgusting rivalry saw the Gators lose four of six fumbles and throw two picks, but squirrel away three field goals - one of them on a six-yard drive - thanks in part to three UGA turnovers. Neither scoring drive going more than 41 yardsįlorida’s only touchdown was via an interception return, and its only offensive score was a garbage-time field goal.

Thanks to nice field position and a 15-yard LSU penalty, rookie head coach Ron Zook scraped together a 53-yard drive. With penalty flags flying all over both sides, Jesse Palmer carved up the Noles for an early TD. Thanks in part to a nice kick return, the Gators got on the board first in the SEC Championship. Ugly scrappers against two programs also prone to playing in ugly scrappers. Shane Matthews’ legendary five-interception game came when the Gators also couldn’t run the ball, but they were in this thing until the fourth quarter, at least. How do you have a 14-play drive that still only gets within range of a 44-yard field goal? 21. but then again, the first of these scores ended a mere 14-yard drive.

If not for turnovers, the Gators likely would’ve scored before garbage time. The Gators moved the ball moderately well against a decent defense, but kept blowing drives in or near MSU territory.

Auburn, 17-6 lossĪn atrocious performance, but that’s still two mostly honest scores before halftime in a close road game. What follows are the 24 times the streak nearly ended (based on times UF scored 10 or fewer points), ranked by some vague combination of peril and inexcusability. well, you’ve seen the last decade, in which the only good UF quarterbacks are the ones who’ve transferred out.Įither way, it’s undeniably impressive, even if several recent weeks involved scoring only in the most technical sense. This is one part appropriate - Steve Spurrier’s Gators led the country in scoring twice and were top 10 four other times, with Urban Meyer adding another few top-10 offenses - and one part hilarious, because. The Florida Gators have the longest shutout-free streak in college football history, setting the record by scoring at least once in every game from Oct.
