Gators are the victors of the Gator Bowl

After finishing the regular season with a 6-6 record, the Gators were invited to play against another 6-6 team, the Ohio State Buckeyes for the final game of the season.  Seems strange to end the 2011 season on the second day of 2012.  In a rematch of two teams that played for the national title four years ago, the Gators were able to pull of a win.  Playing in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Florida, it must have had the feel of a home game. I will have to check with my son and get back to you on that as he and his wife were at the game today.  The Gators had a 14 point lead for most of the 2nd half, but with a few seconds remaining Ohio State scored a touchdown.  The Buckeyes attempted an onside kick and failed, and the Gators were able to run out the clock.   The final score was 24-17 and you can click to read the recap at Gatorsports.com
