Gainesville, FL-Florida's offense played mistake-free and ran the ball well all afternoon while their defense pitched a shutout in a victory over Clemson, 40-0. The Gators churned out 284 yards on the ground, led by RB Mike Gillislee, who ran 29 times for 167 yards and a TD in a workhorse effort that symbolized the level of commitment from the Florida squad. Despite being blanked on the scoreboard, the Tigers managed 336 yards, but every time they threatened to score, the Florida defense was there to turn them away.
The Florida running attack also got solid outings from Trey Burton (63 yards, 2 TD) and Matt Jones (35 yards, TD). The Gators are assured of hosting an NCAA Quarterfinal from The Swamp next weekend.
