Gators continue amazing run.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Mike Phillips
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. _ Casey Griffith was the first one to get to Matt Leach, and he knew just what to do.
He grabbed the kicker and lifted him in the air, higher and higher.
``He deserved to be in the clouds,'' Griffith, the long snapper, said.
That's where the Florida Gators are right now _ floating somewhere up there, breathing the rare air that comes with a magical season.
Magic. That's about the only way to explain this improbable _ all-but-impossible _ run by the now-No. 23 Gators that reached its apex Saturday evening when Leach kicked a ball through the uprights and right through No. 4 Georgia's heart. Leach's 33-yard field goal with 33 seconds left lifted Florida to a 16-13 victory and landed the Gators in a three-way tie for first place in the SEC East Division. And if you don't believe in magic, just take a look at Ron Zook, the quiet coach who never shows emotion. There was Zook, jumping up on the Florida bench, pumping his fist after the game, shaking it at fans.
``I just wanted to thank the fans,'' said Zook, who has been under more than typical pressure since he replaced Steve Spurrier last year.
