Gators’ fake punt turns momentum

KNOXVILLE – So much in college football depends on momentum. When Florida coach Urban Meyer saw the opportunity laid before him in the third quarter, he knew he had to seize the momentum back. And his Gators did.

Florida up back Omarius Hines took the snap on a fake punt and went 36 yards over the left side, sapping the momentum from Tennessee.

“We have been working on that from the beginning of the year,” Meyer said. “We got the numbers and we executed it well. As soon as I heard from the press box that we had the numbers, I knew all we had to do was execute it.”
