Florida wide receiver Kahleil Jackson performed a successful trick play during the Gators' 44-39 victory at Auburn on September 19. Jackson, who had previously thrown an interception on a similar play against Vanderbilt three years ago, completed a 48-yard pass to tight end Amir Jackson. He had practiced the play extensively and said Florida's coaching staff found a favorable defensive look to call it.
