Booth’s big kick return. Following Florida’s first touchdown, Davon Booth returned the ensuing kickoff to near midfield. That gave Mississippi State’s offense better field position and took advantage with a nine-play drive that, fittingly enough, ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Booth, tying the game at 7-7.

The offense was clicking on all cylinders as head coach Billy Napier made use of both Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway at the quarterback spot. The Gators were able to put up over 500 yards of total offense and scored 45 points as they beat the Bulldogs 45-28.

Florida got a desperately needed win Saturday against Mississipi State. But it wasn't exactly a confidence builder for a beleagured defense.
