Florida linebacker Amari Burney intercepts Utah quarterback Cam Rising's pass on second-and-goal from the 6-yard line with 17 seconds remaining to seal the Gators' 29-26 win over the Utes.
Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid remains in the end zone after Florida linebacker Amari Burney made a game-saving interception near the end of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Gainesville, Fla.The University of Utah defense was perpetually one play away Saturday night against the University of Florida.
Added Utes head coach Kyle Whittingham: “I haven’t talked to him about that specific play, but it wasn’t his best throw of the night, I’m sure he wishes he had it back. He played really well tonight. He ran the ball effectively, he threw the ball effectively. He’s our guy. That’s not going to change.”
Richardson finished with three rushing touchdowns, while accounting for 272 total yards of offense in what amounted to a national coming-out party for the Gainesville native and former five-star recruit. The second half began with Utah trying to impose its will on a bigger, physical Florida defensive line at the goal line.Trailing, 14-13, the Utes, a run-first, often-smashmouth outfit, got stuffed on second-and-goal from the 1-yard line, third-and-goal from the 3, and fourth-and-goal at the 1. Rising appeared to cross the goal line on third down, then Thomas appeared to cross on fourth down, but no matter.
Florida spent the first half in full control in front of a full-throated, raucous crowd to watch first-year head coach Billy Napier’s debut. Had it not been for defensive end Jonah Elliss forcing a fumble on the first drive of the game, deep in Gators territory, RJ Hubert returning it 47 yards, and the Utes scoring off a short field, they may have been down more at halftime than just 14-13.
