Florida owns the longest scoring streak in major college football, a shutout-free run that’s lasted more than three decades. The Gators have put points on the board in 448 consecutive games. That's 53 games longer than any other team in NCAA history. They will try to extend the mark against 19th-ranked Miami on Saturday.
FILE - Florida head coach Billy Napier roams the sidelines during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Missouri Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, in Columbia, Mo.

It would be mildly surprising if the streak ended against the Hurricanes. After all, Florida averaged 28.4 points a game in 2023 and returns quarterback Graham Mertz, running back Montrell Johnson and standout receiver Tre Wilson. “They’ve got a whole group of front-seven players that can create issues for you,” Napier said. “That will certainly be one of the key matchups of the game, to go along with several other players up front.”
The Gators have scored in every outing since, an impressive streak that spans Steve Spurrier’s coaching career, Tim Tebow’s playing career and several close calls along the way.
