Del Rio landed right on his left shoulder, which he had surgically repaired last year. He stayed on the sideline for a while and then headed into the locker room with a trainer well before halftime, and based on his expression it sure seemed like he was in a high degree of pain.
Before leaving the game, Del Rio had completed 7-of-11 passes for 64 yards.
Feleipe Franks, the hero of two weeks ago when Florida beat Tennessee on a last-second Hail Mary, immediately made his presence felt. He completed a a 49-yard pass to Tyrie Cleveland before halftime that set up the game-tying field goal.
At the half, it’s all tied up at 17-17.
