Offensive Highlights
Dameon Pierce is back from injury and has quickly made his presence known. In his first game in over a month the bruising back rushed for 76-yards on eight carries and a score. Gator fans knew DP for his physicality which was on full display Sunday when Pierce dragged down an opposing defender on an Int return. Pierce's longest run of the game was this 54-yard score in which he scampered down the sideline to ice the game for Houston.GO CRAZY DP ‼️
