Florida Gators freshman quarterback Feleipe Franks completed an incredible Hail Mary pass on the final play to beat the Tennessee Volunteers 26-20 Saturday.

Franks launched a 63-yard bomb that was caught by Tyrie Cleveland for the win as time expired.

Florida moves to 1-1 on the season, while Tennessee moves to 2-1. This is a heartbreaking loss for the Vols, especially after rallying to tie the game. And it comes a year after Tennessee won on a Hail Mary of its own.

The touchdown pass salvaged what had been a miserable offensive game for the Gators, and should no doubt give Franks some confidence going forward.

Florida visits Kentucky next week while Tennessee returns home to face UMass.
