Florida avoided an embarrassing shut out on their home field thanks to a fumble by FSU running back Jermaine Thomas forced by LB Michael Taylor. The fumble was recovered by Jaye Howard who returned it to the Noles 27.
Two plays later, Jacoby Brisset connected with Quinton Dunbar in the back of the end zone for a 6 yard score to make it 21-7 with 3:21 left in the ball game.
Florida hasn’t been shut out in Gainesville since the 1980’s.
