Florida’s offense has been so bad for a month that the only way they were going to have a chance against Alabama Saturday in the SEC Championship game was to score points in other ways.
Enter Antonio Callaway.
The true freshman got free on a punt return early in the second quarter, returning it 85 yards for a score to put Florida up 7-2. No one had ever done that before in the SEC Championship Game.

Callaway also had a big punt return against LSU back in October. His 72-yard punt returned tied the game late in the fourth quarter at LSU.
