Florida 42, Florida State 13

The Gators defeated the Seminoles for the fifth straight time in this matchup in Tallahassee.  The Seminoles were wearing their white jerseys at home, with the gold helmet with the outline of the state of Florida and the word "STATE" on it that they wore from 1971-74, while the Gators were wearing orange jerseys and helmets, the helmet with the white interlocking U and F that they sported from roughly 1970 through 1978.
