Something unexpected happened on the way to overtime in Gainesville, Fla., on Saturday.

Florida dramatically defeated Tennessee on the game’s final play as freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks hit wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland on a 63-yard Hail Mary bomb to earn a 26-20 win. The win was Florida’s 12th over the Volunteers in the last 13 games in the series.

The miracle catch by the Gator sophomore from Houston, Tex., is this week’s U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”

Both teams had been ineffective on offense for most of the game. Cleveland only had four catches for 30 yards and Franks had only passed for 149 yards before the game ending heroics. It was the only Florida pass completion for more than 10 yards during the entire game.

Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”

The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, www.uscatfish.com.
