As for the Gators, Florida is also led by a creative third year coach, offensive mastermind Jim McElwain. Their offense had one nice play on their first drive, but then stalled and forced them to settle for a field goal.
Defensive coordinator Don Brown will have to replace 10 starters from a unit which ranked in the top five nationally of nearly every major category but will still boast one of the nation's most feared defensive lines, headlined by Gary and potential National Football League first-round pick Maurice Hurst.
Michigan, led by coach Jim Harbaugh in his third season in Ann Arbor, looks to build upon last year's near run to the College Football Playoff, as the Wolverines fell inches short of making it into the final four. Even better for Florida, their offense didn't have to take the field for the momentum to shift drastically. Being let to fire it down the field ab it, MI again put the ball in his hands. However, his receiver couldn't bring it in and the tip drill was on.
After that, MI again looked for Speight to throw it.
Florida made it back-to-back pick-6s when true freshman cornerback CJ Henderson intercepted Speight and returned it 41 yards for the score. That drive ended with a blocked punt.
MI tied it with a field goal of its own on the ensuing possession.
