Florida’s 29-16 upset of No. 11 Tennessee was marred by an all-out brawl at the end of the game Saturday night.

For a night that should have celebrated Trevor Etienne’s career-high 172 yards and a touchdown, the game ended with a fight and penalty flags on both teams. Florida quarterback Graham Mertz took a knee and then took exception to Omari Thomas running into him. Benches cleared, and Tennessee’s Kamal Hadden and Florida’s Micah Mazzccua squared off. Mazzccua clearly threw a punch. Florida’s Damieon George was initially flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Thomas for targeting. But neither flag was enforced.

Montrell Johnson scored twice and Florida extended the Volunteers’ losing streak in Gainesville to 10.

Coaches Josh Heupel and Billy Napier had an icy handshake at midfield before the teams had to return to the field for one final play.

The victory was the first in a rivalry for Napier, who last year became the first coach in school history to lose to Tennessee, LSU, Georgia and Florida State in the same season. Getting the first one under his belt should quell outside noise about Napier’s long-term viability with the Gators (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference).
