Anthony Rubio scores touchdown for Florida Gators in Gasparilla Bowl

Anthony Rubio, a walk-on running back for the Florida Gators and son of Senator Marco Rubio, scored his first collegiate touchdown in the Gasparilla Bowl. He ran for a nine-yard touchdown with just over a minute left in the game. Rubio's touchdown came during a dominant performance by Florida, leading to a 33-0 score. His six carries totaled 32 yards in his debut game after not playing in the 2023 season. The celebration following his touchdown resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for Florida. This allowed Tulane to start their next drive closer to the end zone.
