Even without two-time all-Pac-12 quarterback Cameron Rising, No. 14 Utah had little trouble taking care of Florida in its 2023 opener.
A 21-yard shanked punt from Jeremy Crawshaw set Utah up for a field goal that gave the Utes a 17-3 halftime lead. Early in the third quarter, Florida freshman Eugene Wilson mistakenly fielded a punt inside his own 10-yard line, backing up Mertz and the Gators offense near their own end zone. Three plays later, Mertz was intercepted on a ball that deflected off Ricky Pearsall’s hands.
Florida’s misery didn’t end there. The Gators’ next drive ended in the red zone thanks in part to another ill-timed penalty. This time, it was an illegal formation on third-and-1 from the Utah 13. A turnover on downs soon followed.
