“God, just driving hard and working that track bar adjuster as much as I could,” Johnson said. “I was trying to be smart with my line and I guess guys on two tires weren’t all that fast. Chad (Knaus, crew chief) said something to be about that on the radio and they never really came, you know? The No. 4 (Harvick) and I did just fine on old tires and held those guys off. It was a long-fought day.” Aric Almirola scored his first top ten finish of the season with a fifth-place finish.

We made some changes today and we made some gains on it, but never really got it where we needed it. Clean air was huge. When we were out front, we were okay. It just never turned good all day long. It eventually caught up to us.”

2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Qualifying

2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, First half, Start
Under mostly cloudy evening Virginia skies, Joey Logano led the field to the green flag at 7:57 p.m. He shot ahead of Matt Kenseth to lead the first lap. By lap 14, Kenseth pulled to the rear of Logano and eventually passed him going into turn 1 to take the lead on lap 16. By lap 28, he caught up to the tail-end of the field and used lap traffic to increase his lead. The first caution of the race flew on lap 37 when Martin Truex, Jr. slammed the wall in turn 1. To add insult to injury, he was tagged for speeding on pit road and was forced to restart from the tail-end of the field.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, First half, Start
The race restarted on lap 47. After restarting in the outside lane, Logano led a lap before Kenseth retook the lead from him. After 30 laps, he pulled to a four-second lead over Brad Keselowski. Debris in turn 1 brought out the second caution on lap 97. Danica Patrick was tagged for speeding on pit road and Cole Whitt was tagged for an uncontrolled tire. Both were forced to restart the race from the rear.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, First half, Second quarter
The race restarted on lap 104. Logano used the momentum of riding the outside line to take the lead the next lap. Kenseth passed him on the outside to retake the lead on lap 110. The third caution flew when Michael Annett got hooked by Jeb Burton, bounced off Michael McDowell, slid down the track and slammed the inside wall on the backstretch. Logano opted not to pit under the caution and assumed the lead.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, First half, Second quarter

After five laps, the entire Joe Gibbs Racing team ran first, second, third, fourth and pulled away from the field. Kenseth ran down and passed Hamlin for the lead on lap 139. Debris brought out the fourth caution on lap 210.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Second half, Third quarter
The race restarted on lap 218. Kyle Busch dove underneath Kenseth to take the lead on the next lap. Kenseth passed him to retake the lead on lap 228. Debris on the backstretch brought out the fifth caution on lap 290. Under the caution, McDowell collided with one of the service trucks and tore off his entire rear bumper. “It was my mistake, obviously,” McDowell said. “I’m driving it, so I take full responsibility for it. But it definitely caught me off guard and it was a surprise. I didn’t know it was even sitting there.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Second half, Third quarter
Obviously I’m thankful nobody got hurt, embarrassed for my team and it was my mistake driving. A lot happened at once. Everybody jumped on the brakes and I just didn’t have time to react.” Keselowski and Jamie McMurray were both tagged for speeding on pit road and restarted from the tail-end of the field.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Second half, Fourth quarter

2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“We were really superb in the long run, but we had to work for it pretty hard in the short run,” Kenseth said. “I was disappointed to see the last caution. I knew it was going to be tough, but we were able to get the jump and get out front.”


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“It is tough,” a dejected Aric Almirola said after what actually turned out to be his best finish of the season in fourth. “This is what we race for. We race to win races. We race to run for a championship. This race team, we got to do it last year and we had an engine failure at Chicago and feel like we had a lot more to show in the Chase last year. We wanted another shot at it really bad. We have a really, really good race team and am disappointed we didn’t get Smithfield and Ford into the Chase again.”


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“I wasn’t limited in the car at all,” Denny Hamlin said after finishing sixth with a torn right ACL. “You really don’t notice anything until you stop, and that’s the thing, feeling the throbbing, feeling my heart beat in my knee. I thought it (his knee) was good at first. I had it drained right before the race started, which helped a lot, getting a bunch of that blood out of there. After that, I felt pretty good. Obviously, any kind of heat brings swelling back. I’m sure it swelled again at the end of the race, and that’s why I’m as stiff as I am.”


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“The car…..I was a little nervous, we were hovering around 21st, we made a slight adjustment and boom we started going to the front,” Jeff Gordon explained after finishing seventh. “I don't know if we were a top‑five car, but we were definitely a top‑10 car and finished seventh. Excited we finally had a solid night on pit road, on the racetrack, in the race car, communication. Everything was just really solid. That certainly gives us something to be excited about these next ten races and these guys have been working so hard.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
I know everybody works hard but they just haven't been getting the rewards of that hard work. It's nice to be in the Chase and take that relief and take that breath and now go reset and see what we can do over the next 10. We're behind. We know that. Those guys are unbelievable.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
But there's a lot of ways to make it to Homestead and there's a lot that can happen and we're working as hard as anybody to try to see what we can do better, learn from our competitors, and try to catch up, but we're definitely playing catch‑up. I think Junior is probably the best in our stable right now and he proved that again tonight (fifth), but we work hard together to try to improve for each of us, and if we continue to do that, we'll make gains. There was a lot of pressure in this final season to make that Chase, so I'm glad we got that done.”


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
"Obviously everybody knows all the news and the stories, but to be able to battle through that, I owe everybody in the organization a great deal of thanks for keeping their head down, to keep digging and get ourselves into the Chase," Clint Bowyer said after his 10th-place finish qualified him for the Chase. It's a big monumental thing for an organization to go through what we're going through. To get to the Chase is the best of the best, the elite in motorsports, and MWR is once again a part of it. I'm really proud of [crew chief] Billy Scott and everybody on the 5-Hour Energy Toyota."


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
"We ran about where we typically do here at Richmond, which is right around the top 10," Kyle Larson said after finishing 12th and missing the Chase. "I don't think anybody was beating Matt Kenseth tonight. He was super fast. Disappointing run for the Chase. I think everybody on our team thought the 42 would definitely be in the Chase to start the season after the way we ended last year.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
But it wasn't the case this season, so we'll work hard the last 10 races to try and run strong for Target and get them a win and work on being consistent. That's where we've struggled pretty much all year long was being consistent, so we'll try and work hard at that and try and finish strong."


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“The main thing for me is just figuring out how to get a car to turn again. I struggled all year to have front turn. If I don’t have that I can’t race,” Kasey Kahne said after finishing 18th two laps down and missing the Chase. "That is how I’ve been my whole life – just work on trying to get the cars to turn the way I need them to. If we can’t, then we will keep running about 15th. I could take off alright on restarts.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
We could go for a little bit and then I would just get so tight with the front it wouldn’t turn. I was having a couple of other issues with brakes and stuff." We tried to fight through there. We got a lap down and then once we didn't get the (free pass) we ran in position for a while and we were too far back and ended up two laps down. Matt was really good. Those guys were fast.”


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Driver comments
“It was a horrible race," Paul Menard said after finishing three laps down in 26th, "but we’re in the Chase. I guess I’m happy. We had such a bad race, but we can hit the reset button now and go to Chicago. Everybody’s got a shot. All it takes is one (bad) race for somebody, and it’s hard to make that up.”

2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Possible jumped restart
On the final restart with 18 laps to go, it appeared that race leader Matt Kenseth started accelerating before the restart zone (jumped the restart). Roger Penske, team owner of Team Penske, said sarcastically that someone in race control "must have closed the window and pulled the blind down. That's how bad it was. They talk about it in the drivers meeting and how they were going to do something. They docked [Ryan] Blaney the other night [three weeks prior in the Truck Series race at Bristol] for the same thing. I don't understand.


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Possible jumped restart
It must be a different set of rules. They've got to come up with some way to say what's right or what's wrong. To me, this is a perfect example of inconsistencies. And when you are racing for as tight as we are for everything that's on the line, you just can't have that kind of officiating."


2015 Federated Auto Parts 400, Race, Post-race, Possible jumped restart
In his weekly Monday appearance on the Sirius XM NASCAR Radio program The Morning Drive, NASCAR Executive Vice–President and Chief Racing Development Officer Steve O'Donnell explained to Mike Bagley and Pete Pistone why NASCAR decided not to penalize Kenseth for jumping the restart and if NASCAR is content with continuing to leave control of the restart in the hands of the race leader.

During his appearance on The Morning Drive, O'Donnell also addressed Michael McDowell colliding with a service truck on the backstretch during the fifth caution of the race. He said that NASCAR had "conversations with the driver, spotter and the crew chief immediately following the race" and that they would "debrief with those folks [track safety and cleanup workers]...[,] see what they saw and look to not have that happen in the future."

2015 Finnish parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 19 April 2015, with advance voting taking place from 8 to 14 April. The 200 members of the Parliament of Finland were elected with the proportional D'Hondt method.


2015 Finnish parliamentary election
There were 4,463,333 people entitled to vote in Finland and abroad.


2015 Finnish parliamentary election, Background, Previous government coalition
The incumbent government was formed by a four party coalition, composed of the National Coalition Party, Social Democratic Party, Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats as well as the MP for Åland. Left Alliance and the Green League were initially also part of the governing coalition, but both left in 2014.


2015 Finnish parliamentary election, Background, Previous government coalition
On 22 June 2011, the parliament elected Jyrki Katainen as prime minister by a vote of 118–72; two Left Alliance MPs voted against Katainen, for which they were formally reprimanded by the Left Alliance parliamentary group. They were subsequently expelled from the group, reducing the government majority from 126 MPs to 124. In March 2014 the Left Alliance announced that it was leaving the cabinet, citing the party's opposition to budget cuts in social welfare programs, which had been agreed to by the other five parties. This reduced the government's majority to 112 MPs.


2015 Finnish parliamentary election, Background, Previous government coalition
In April 2014 Jyrki Katainen announced that he would not seek another term as the chairman of the National Coalition Party. The NCP chose Alexander Stubb as its new chairman in June, and he subsequently became the new Prime Minister. In September 2014 the Green League announced that it was leaving the cabinet. The Greens were opposed to the other governing parties' decision to grant Fennovoima a licence for building a nuclear power plant in Pyhäjoki. The Greens' departure cut the government's majority to 102 MPs (including the Speaker of the Parliament, who does not vote).


2015 Finnish parliamentary election, Background, Electoral district changes
In 2013 the parliament decided to merge certain electoral districts to create larger districts: the electoral districts of Northern Savonia and North Karelia were merged into a new district called Savonia-Karelia, while the electoral districts of Kymi and Southern Savonia were merged into a new district called South-Eastern Finland.


2015 Finnish parliamentary election, Government formation
As the leader of the largest party, Juha Sipilä of Centre was tasked with forming the new government coalition. In early May Sipilä announced that he will seek to form a right-leaning majority coalition consisting of the three largest parties – the Centre Party, the Finns Party and the National Coalition Party. The coalition negotiations were successful and led to the formation of the Sipilä cabinet on 29 May.


2015 Firestone 600
The 2015 Firestone 600 was the ninth round of the 2015 IndyCar Series season. It took take place on Saturday, June 6. The race was contested over 248 laps at the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, and was televised by NBCSN in the United States. It marked the 27th IndyCar race held at the speedway since it was first held there in 1997.


2015 Firestone 600, Background
The second race in last week's rounds 7 and 8 in the IndyCar series marked the first time all season that a race finished without a Penske or Ganassi driver among the top two places. The top performance by either of the super teams was a third-place showing by Penske’s Simon Pagenaud in first race of the dual in Detroit on Saturday. It also marked the best showing by Honda cars with the manufacturer taking 1-2 in the first race, and 2-3 in the second race.


2015 Firestone 600, Report, Qualifying
Initial practice and qualifying took place in the afternoon on Friday June 5, 2015 with a final practice occurring later that evening.


2015 Firestone 600, Report, Race summary
The race took place on the evening of Saturday June 6, 2015 and was the fastest IndyCar Series race ever run at the Texas Motor Speedway with an average speed of 191.940 mph. It was a relative clean contest with only one caution occurring between laps 84 to 96, which was due to non-contact debris on the front stretch of the track, during the entire 248 lap race.


2015 Firestone 600, Report, Race summary
Pole driver Will Power had the lead for the first 7 laps of the race, when Simon Pagenaud took the lead from him and held it for the next 59 laps of the race. Multiple pit stops by others further back in the field to make wing and tire adjustments shuffled the order and put several drivers one to three laps down. Finding the right balance of downforce and tire wear and press would prove pivotal in the race. In lap 67, Tony Kanaan took the lead. During the caution beginning in lap 84, pretty much the entire field pitted, and pit times resulted in a major reshuffling of order once again with Juan Pablo Montoya holding the lead when the race resumed on lap 96, with Kanaan retaking the lead on lap 103.


2015 Firestone 600, Report, Race summary
As cars pitted for fuel beginning in lap 138, the lead was again reshuffled, with the lead passing to Scott Dixon, Hélio Castroneves, James Jakes and then back to Dixon. Another round of pitting for fuel again reshuffled the lead over a ten lap period, with Kanaan, then Castroneves and then Marco Andretti taking the lead.


2015 Firestone 600, Report, Race summary
Dixon re-took the lead on lap 194 and would maintain lead for the rest of the race with the except of his taking his final pit stop for fuel on lap 228 end up having the lead for a total of 97 laps, eclipsing his season total of 59 in laps led in one race. He would go on to win the race, which his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Kanaan taking second, and Castroneves taking the third podium position for Team Penske. The top 4 finishers were all Chevrolet cars which dominated the race and the top finishers suggest high downforce will be the way to success on oval courses for the remainder of the season.

2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, New Mexico State

2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, New Mexico State
The Gators' first drive of the season ended in a three-and-out. This was their only punt of the game, as the Gators scored on all but one of their succeeding drives—Will Grier lost a fumble behind the line in the second quarter. Quarterbacks Treon Harris and Will Grier combined for 379 passing yards and five passing touchdowns in a promising display of offense, producing a total of 606 yards. Harris had more passing yards than Grier, although Grier did run for a touchdown in the second quarter.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, New Mexico State
On the defensive side of the ball, the Gators defense held the Aggies to a mere 200 yards, allowing only a few big plays. Placekicker Austin Hardin was 2/2 on field goals, and 7/8 on extra point kick attempts, as the Aggies were able to block the extra point attempt at the 0:24 mark of the second quarter.

The Gators face the Pirates a mere 8 months following their previous encounter at the 2015 Birmingham Bowl. The Gators and Pirates played a close first quarter in Birmingham, but the Gators regained their lead early in the second quarter, and added to it later on. The Pirates were not able to muster a sufficient response, and the Gators went on to win 28–20. The Gators and Pirates also played at Florida Field in 1983 as the no. 6 and undefeated Gators played a close game, winning 24–17 on Homecoming day.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, East Carolina
The Gators finished the 1983 season 9–2–1.Head coach Jim McElwain announced during the week that redshirt freshman Will Grier would get his first career college start, and Treon Harris would come off the bench. This is a script flip from last week, when Treon Harris got the start before Will Grier played for about half the game. Junior defensive back Vernon Hargreaves III suffered a leg injury at practice during the week, and would not dress for the game.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, East Carolina
Much like their previous 2015 meeting at the Birmingham Bowl, East Carolina played a close game against the Gators, as the game had a total of four lead changes. In the first half, placekicker Austin Hardin missed 2 field goals. After falling behind 10–14 early in the third quarter, Florida seemed to be pulling away as they led 31–17, however East Carolina would score a touchdown with 3:04 remaining in the game.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, East Carolina
On the ensuing possession, the Gators went three-and-out, and punted the ball back to East Carolina, who would get well into Florida territory before quarterback Blake Kemp fumbled a pass attempt, which was recovered by defensive end Alex McAlister, who would have scored had his teammate, Jarrad Davis, not tackled him. Florida was able to kneel to run off the final 12 seconds.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, East Carolina
Head coach Jim McElwain called the Gators' performance "embarrassing," not only speaking of the several missed opportunities to put points on the board, but also of the 12 penalties totaling 105 yards, including two unsportsmanlike conduct fouls following scores. McElwain added that his team "didn't deserve to win the game," and addressed the issue of being penalized 12 times, saying "this is not how it's going to be around here anymore." The 12 Florida penalties sharply contrast last week's season opener, where the Gators showed above average discipline, as they were penalized only once.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Kentucky
Florida traveled to Lexington for this year's edition of the annual intra-divisional series. Kentucky was hoping to avenge a victory against the Gators for the first time since November 15, 1986. In last year's primetime matchup, the Gators and Wildcats played a triple-overtime thriller under the lights at The Swamp. Kentucky scored a game-tying 51-yard field goal with 3:52 left in the fourth quarter. Florida later missed a game-winning field goal, and sent the game to overtime. Florida eventually scored the game-winning touchdown in the third overtime period, thus continuing Kentucky's losing streak against Florida.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Kentucky
For the third consecutive game, Florida would plan on playing both Will Grier and Treon Harris during the game, and would place Grier in the starting position for the second consecutive game. Vernon Hargreaves III was upgraded to questionable on Wednesday, and later listed as probable. Head coach Jim McElwain was hoping for gameplay resembling that of the season debut against New Mexico State, as Kentucky is coming off a 26–22 victory at South Carolina; McElwain says of Kentucky "This team we're playing is not your same old Kentucky ... These guys are really good."


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Kentucky
The Gators played another tight game for the second straight year, holding a mere 7–3 lead through the first quarter. The Gators scored another touchdown in the second quarter to extend their lead to a comfortable 14–3. Florida could not score for the remainder of the game, however their defense was able to hold Kentucky's potent offense led by Patrick Towles, one of the SEC's top returning quarterbacks, to only two additional field goals, and intercepted a desperation pass on 4th & 27 to secure the result and kneel off the remaining time.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Kentucky
Starting quarterback Will Grier played for the entire game, and was the team's top rusher with 61 yards. Treon Harris did warm up on the sideline when Grier's offense seemed to dwindle, but Jim McElwain asked if Grier could continue, which he affirmed. McElwain called his first SEC victory a "heck of a road win against a team that's going to win a lot of games in this league and is getting better and better."


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Kentucky
With the victory, Florida extended their winning streak against Kentucky to 29 games, the nation's longest active win streak against an annual opponent. The all-time record is Notre Dame's 43-game winning streak against Navy from 1964 to 2006.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Tennessee
Jim McElwain would try to lead the Gators to an eleventh consecutive victory – the longest winning streak of the rivalry – against a promising Volunteer team, whose turnaround season last year – which culminated with their first bowl victory in six years – sparked a frenzy of high-prospect recruiting for this season. Last year's game saw a fourth quarter comeback by the Gators, resolving a 0–9 deficit in the fourth quarter. During the week it was announced that Will Grier would make his third consecutive start. He would be expected to play the entire game due to Treon Harris being unavailable due to a one-game suspension. Josh Grady was promoted in the depth chart for this game in Harris's absence.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Tennessee
The Gators would score a touchdown on their second drive of the game, however the Volunteers scored three drives later, and the first quarter ended at a 7–7 tie. Tennessee would score an additional 10 points in the second quarter, sending the Gators to halftime trailing 7–17. Tennessee scored a field goal on the opening series of the third quarter to extend to a 20–7 lead. Florida would score later in the third quarter as a result of a Kelvin Taylor touchdown run, pulling the Gators within a touchdown of the Volunteers.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Tennessee
Tennessee, however, earned a touchdown to finish a 70-yard, 7:26 drive with 10:19 in the fourth quarter. Head coach Butch Jones elected to kick a one-point try, rather than going for a two-point try that would have made given the Volunteers a 14-point lead. This decision would prove fatal for the Volunteers, as Florida scored a touchdown of their own on the ensuing possession, and Tennessee would punt the ball back to Florida on their following possession with 2:18 remaining in the game.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Tennessee
The Gators engineered a 52-second drive that culminated with a 63-yard touchdown pass from Grier to Antonio Callaway on 4th-and-14. The Volunteers got the ball back with 1:25 remaining in the game, and drove down the field to set up a 55-yard, game-winning field goal attempt with 3 seconds remaining. Placekicker Aaron Medley missed wide right, allowing the Gators to hold on for a second consecutive one-point victory over the Volunteers. The Gators extended their perfect record on fourth down conversion attempts, as they were 5/5 on fourth down, including 3/3 in the fourth quarter.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
Ole Miss was the only team able to upset reigning Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and the eventual national champion 2008 Gators. The Rebels blocked a game-tying extra point with 3:28 left in the game to hold a 31–30 lead. The Gators were able to regain possession with 2:05 left in the game, but turned over on downs after Tebow was stopped short of the line to gain on 4th & 1 with 41 seconds left. They have not played each other since.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
The no. 3 Rebels enter the Swamp with a 4–0 record, having won in upset fashion at no. 2 Alabama 43–37. In last week's game, Ole Miss defeated Vanderbilt 27–16, although they entered the game as 261⁄2-point favorites. During a portion of the third quarter, the score was tied at 13.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
Ole Miss entered as 7-point favorites against the Gators, but quickly fell behind after Florida put on an offensive attack led by Will Grier's four touchdown passes in the first 30 minutes of play, giving the Gators a 25–0 halftime lead. The Rebels offense was not so much stagnant as the Gators defense was dominant. Ole Miss made their first trip to the red zone early in the second quarter, but the Gators attacked the Rebels defensively, forcing Gary Wunderlich to attempt a 29-yard field goal, which sailed wide right.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
Ole Miss opened the second half with a drive that lasted 9:35, but Florida's defense forced Ole Miss to settle for a 22-yard field goal, putting Ole Miss on the board. Ole Miss fumbled the ball after 3 plays on their next drive, and Florida converted with a field goal early in the fourth quarter. After a pair of punts, Vernon Hargreaves III returned an interception to the Ole Miss 5-yard line, but Florida once again settled for a field goal following a three-and-out.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
Ole Miss would fumble the ball only 16 seconds later, however, setting up 1st & goal from the Ole Miss 1-yard line, leading to a one play touchdown drive for the Gators, extending to a 5 touchdown lead. Ole Miss would score on their ensuing drive, before Florida took the final snaps of the game to seal the primetime upset at 38–10.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Ole Miss
Florida is 5–0 for the first time since the 2012 season, and holds the sole position at the top of the SEC Eastern Division standings after no. 8 Georgia fell to no. 13 Alabama at home. Mississippi's first loss of the season leaves only two teams with perfect records in the SEC Western Division – no. 14 Texas A&M and no. 9 LSU, who the Gators will play on October 17 in Baton Rouge.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Florida would play at Faurot Field for only the second time as Missouri plays a fourth game against Florida since joining the SEC in 2012. Missouri was sitting on a two-game winning streak against the Gators, defeating a historically underperforming Gator team in 2013, and again in 2014, where Florida fell behind by six touchdowns before entering Treon Harris in the third quarter, who threw for a touchdown and ran for another, allowing the Gators to avoid a primetime shutout at The Swamp. Missouri's true-freshman quarterback Drew Lock would make his second start in place of suspended senior quarterback Maty Mauk


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Following a 7–3 score resulting from the teams' opening drives, Florida scored a second touchdown in the first quarter, pulling to a 14–3 lead. The second quarter saw a pair of missed field goals by both teams; Florida's field goal attempt was set up by a Marcus Maye interception.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Both offenses in the second half were rather stagnant, as each offensive series ended with either a punt or turnover on downs, with the exception of a Jalen Tabor interception that was returned for a 40-yard touchdown to extend Florida's lead to 18 points, ultimately resulting in the game's final score of 21–3. Florida's defense held Missouri's offense to 1-for-14 on third downs, with the Tigers' lone third down conversion occurring with 36 seconds remaining in the game.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Florida's defense has yet to give up a touchdown in their road games. Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel remarked of the Gators' defense ""They out-executed us," and "They are a really good defensive football team." He also said "We just made mistakes they didn't make. Obviously, offensively we're still having some problems." With a 6–0 start, Jim McElwain is the first Gators coach since Galen Hall in 1984 to win his first six games.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, LSU
Florida would enter Death Valley hoping to avenge the previous two years' losses, with last year's game resulting in another late-night thriller at The Swamp. Florida went into halftime with a 17–14 lead. The two teams played a close second half, until LSU's Colby Delahoussaye made a 50-yard field goal with 3 seconds left in the game, allowing LSU to take a 30–27 victory. Treon Harris would make his second start of the season following Will Grier's tearful announcement of his suspension on Monday due to testing positive for an NCAA-banned supplement.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, LSU
Entering the game, Harris was 5–2 as a starting quarterback, as he was the starter for the last six games of the 2014 season, and entered boasting 1,288 passing yards with a 53.6 percent completion rate, and 401 yards with a 4.7 yard average per carry. The offense would need to adapt to Harris's skill set, as he is less of a dropback passer than Grier, meaning the offense will be more oriented around designed runs, zone reads and moving pockets. McElwain said of the quarterback situation "Now it's Treon's opportunity to take the reins and run with it. He'll do a great job."


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, LSU
After receiving the first half kickoff, Florida gained a first down on their first play from scrimmage before going three-and-out. However, the punt was muffed by LSU's Tre'Davious White, and Florida's Nick Washington recovered at the 13-yard line. Facing 4th-and-1 at the LSU 4-yard line, Florida elected to go for the first down from scrimmage, doing that and more as Treon Harris completed a pass to Jake McGee for a touchdown.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, LSU
On LSU's ensuing drive, Leonard Fournette earned his team a first down on their first play from scrimmage, but was forced to punt three plays later just as the Gators did. The remaining drives that ended in the first quarter resulted in punts. LSU was in possession of the ball to begin the second quarter, and capped off an 11-play, 88-yard drive with a 2-yard run by Fournette to tie the game at 7. After a Florida three-and-out, LSU capped off another long drive with another touchdown, this time from a 9-yard connection from Brandon Harris to Malachi Dupre.


2015 Florida Gators football team, Game summaries, LSU

Jim McElwain said of the fake field goal "They made a helluva play. Give them credit," adding "It's kind of a badge of honor. It took a fake field goal to beat us. That's all right." Many praised the Gators' exceptional play considering the news of Will Grier's suspension that broke less than a week before the game, and that it came down to a fake field goal for one of the better teams in the country to defeat the Gators at one of the nation's most challenging venues.
