Gators rout FIU 62-3, extend winning streak to 21
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Top-ranked Florida moved another step closer to perfection with a 62-3 rout of Florida International.
Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdowns and Brandon Spikes returned an interception for a score to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 21 games Saturday.
Florida improved to 11-0 for just the second time in school history and needs two more wins — against Florida State and Alabama — to earn a shot at repeating as national champion.
After surviving some struggles during Southeastern Conference play, the Gators probably needed an easy week. The Golden Panthers (3-8) played the part to perfection.
