Social media reactions from morning after Florida’s upset win
No, it wasn’t a dream. Florida really pulled off a 29-26 upset of the No. 7 Utah Utes Saturday night thanks to the heroics of Anthony Richardson and a timely interception from linebacker Amari Burney.
A late-night win means that many in Gator Nation woke up to learn the good news, and those less tuned into the world of Florida football are starting to pay attention. Richardson made good on the preseason hype surrounding him and delivered three scores with his legs. He also provided the highlight play of the weekend, and people are still talking about it.
The Gators are 1-0 after week one, and there’s nothing to do but celebrate on Sunday. The team will lock into week two preparations on Monday and start planning for the Kentucky Wildcats. Until then, keep reliving the best moment from a great Saturday in the Swamp.
Here’s a look at the social media buzz the morning after Florida’s big win over Utah.
