Much has been written about the 18-point deficit erased in Nashville, the largest since 2003 in Lexington.
But, as I recall that Wildcat game (Leak's first start?), it was an incredible bit of Wildcat foolishness (Hefty Lefty) that allowed that comeback. In contrast, the Gators did not benefit from a single Vandy turnover, having to drive the comeback from solid offensive execution and force the punt defense.
Which got me thinking (dangerous) -- when was the last time we came back from such a large deficit?
For example, the FSU game in '97 was an awesome bit of comebackery, but we were not down by that many points. I am probably forgetting something, but 30-14 against Tennessee in the Swamp in '95 was the last time I remember such a comeback.
Was last week the greatest Gator comeback since then - Your thoughts?
