Saturday’s 41-14 win over Florida State was arguably the most valuable victory of the Gators’ 2018 season, and there were a handful of players that made it possible. Here are Saturday’s Most Valuable Players:
Jachai Polite ripped past Florida State’s left tackle and reached out. FSU quarterback Deondre Francois pulled the football back for a throw, but the hand of the junior pass rusher prevented it from going any further. The ball squirted out, and defensive end CeCe Jefferson jumped on top of it.
Van Jefferson took a step in toward the FSU defender on his route, then took a step back out.

It’s tune-up week in the Southeastern Conference.
The only way Kyle Markway would have been more open was if the Gators’ defense was off the field.
Lamical Perine made a jump-cut with elite quickness. The junior running back juked against the grain of his blocking and burst through the line 23 yards from the South Carolina goal line. He zig-zagged past defenders and blockers and juked again. Burgundy helmets and white jerseys flew past his body. Then, nobody stood between Perine and the end zone. Touchdown.
It’ll take some adjustments.
