FINAL: Orange 10, Blue 7 - Florida Gators

A quick wrap of UF's annual spring game Thursday night at Spurrier/Florida, with sophomore Trey Smack's 46-yard field goal on the final play proving the difference.

Sophomore Trey Smack kicked a 46-yard field goal as time expired to give his Orange team a 10-7 victory in Thursday night's Orange & Blue Spring Game at Spurrier/Florida Field. Smack's game-winner provided some excitement for an otherwise lackluster evening that was dominated by two defenses that overshadowed and overwhelmed quarterbacks Graham Mertz and Jack Miller III. The QB duel between Mertz, the Wisconsin transfer, and Miller, who started for Anthony Richardson and struggled (like the rest of the Gators) in UF's Las Vegas Bowl loss to Oregon State in December, was a virtual standoff -- much like the outcome nearly was. Both quarterbacks played for both teams; both were under pressure most of the game, as the defenses combined for nine (touch) sacks. Mertz finished 18 of 29 for 244 yards and a touchdown, while Miller hit 10 of 19 throws for 144 yards and a score. Miller, as it turned out, was the winning QB of record.

Ex-Wisconsin QB Graham Mertz finding his footing at Florida​

Graham Mertz jogged into the Swamp with the first-team offense, wearing the No. 15 jersey made famous by Tim Tebow and harboring no regrets about leaving Wisconsin for Florida.

“Just grateful to see the sun every day, which is something stupid, but when you are in Wisconsin for a while, you kind of realize what the sun does,” Mertz said. “Really enjoyed the spring.”

It’s not clear whether he could honestly say the same about the spring game, a 10-7 effort that included countless bad snaps and even drew a veiled shot from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin on Twitter.



Mertz completed 18 of 29 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown while playing the first half for the Orange and the second half for the Blue. He was “sacked” five times in the controlled scrimmage in front of an estimated 42,000 fans, and his lack of arm strength was evident with every deep ball.

Blue-chip prospect and projected starter Jaden Rashada never made it to Gainesville after a name, image and likeness deal worth nearly $14 million fell through. That debacle followed standout Anthony Richardson, a projected top-10 pick, declaring for the NFL draft and backup Jalen Kitna being arrested on child pornography charges and being dismissed from the program.
