I remember saying to my wife after this head scratcher, I hope this
doesn't save Muschamps job.
1*. Florida 38, Georgia 20, 2014: It wasn’t just that Florida won two
weeks after Will Muschamp hammered another nail in his coffin with the
embarrassing loss against Missouri. It’s that Florida won while putting
up 27 passing yards and running the same play over and over en route to
418 rushing yards. Fittingly, the bizarre game ended with Georgia
kicking a field goal with three seconds left.**

It started the way so many of these lists start, two friends sharing
beverages and scribbling them down on a cocktail napkin.
In this case, it was a going-away meeting with Larry Vettel, the
longtime Gator broadcaster who is moving to New York City. He
mentioned that last year’s Florida-Georgia game was the most
unexplainable result in all of his years of covering the Gators.
I couldn’t agree more. But we didn’t stop there. After all, we had a
history both on radio and TV of semi-intelligent conversation. One for
the road?
So here are our top 10 most bizarre results in Gator football during
our time paying attention. These aren’t the biggest upsets or biggest
wins or losses. They are the 10 most bizarre results.
1. Florida 38, Georgia 20, 2014: It wasn’t just that Florida won two
weeks after Will Muschamp hammered another nail in his coffin with the
embarrassing loss against Missouri. It’s that Florida won while
putting up 27 passing yards and running the same play over and over en
route to 418 rushing yards. Fittingly, the bizarre game ended with
Georgia kicking a field goal with three seconds left.
2. Georgia Southern 26, Florida 20, 2013: Georgia Southern without
completing a pass. End of story.
3. Florida 28, Rutgers 28, 1985: Florida led 28-0 when Galen Hall
decided to play his backup quarterback in Rodney Brewer. A pick-six
changed momentum and the Scarlet Knights actually had a chance to win
it at the end. Remember, this UF team went 9-1-1.
4. Florida 59, Houston 34, 1969: Nobody saw it coming. Nobody. And
game where their are more fans in the stands in the fourth quarter
than the second belongs on this list.
5. Florida 19, LSU 7, 2003: Florida was unranked, 3-3 and had been
destroyed by the Tigers the year before in The Swamp. LSU would
eventually win the national title this year under Nick Saban. LSU ran
back the opening punt for a touchdown. What happened the rest of the
way is unexplainable.
6. Duke 12, Florida 6, 1971: Opening game of Doug Dickey’s second
season. The Super Sophs were now seniors. Still can’t understand what
happened.
7. Mississippi State 38, Florida 31: The game that got Ron Zook fired.
The Bulldogs had lost to Maine earlier in the season. That’s all you
need to know.
8. Georgia 51, Florida 0, 1968: Ray Graves switched his coordinators
for this game. The result gave all of the writers an easy line —
“Florida looked like its offense was coached by its defensive
coordinator and its defense was coached by its offensive coordinator.
Which was true.”
9. Florida 41, California 13, 1980: Florida was 0-10-1 the year before
and Cal was loaded with talent. The fans didn’t know that Bob Hewko
was pretty good.
10. Florida 23, Alabama 14, 1987: Emmitt Smith’s breakout game is
still difficult to believe.
